Zenith Aircraft Model and Factory Update from Sun 'n Fun

2023-04-05T12:24:32.336Z

From Sun 'n Fun 2023, KITPLANES magazine caught up with Zenith Aircraft's Sebastien Heintz on the company's plans for the year and a bit of a recap of the previous months. Sales continue strong for Zenith, so much so that it's begun work on additional factory space at its Mexico, MO, headquarters. Heintz highlights a few of the builder aircraft on display at Sun 'n Fun, including one with a paint job costing just more than $200.
The company also highlights how being almost "engine agnostic" has helped its builders. Currently, Zenith supports powerplants from Continental, Corvair, Lycoming, Rotax, ULPower and Viking... and we probably missed one or two!

Sun 'n Fun's Aerospace Center for Excellence (ACE) builds a Zenith CH 750 Cruzer

Andy Ovans, Maintenance Manager for the Aerospace Center for Excellence at Lakeland, Florida exhibited their “Spirit of Lakeland” Zenith 750, a group project that brought together high school students from the Central Florida Aerospace Academy and ACE staff mentors to complete the aircraft for use by the Lakeland Aero Club. The desired end result required some custom work and modification to bring the kit up to the spec, as well as the continuing practice and education of the high school students completing the plane.
The Zenith was built to be a lightweight, hand-controlled aircraft perfect to support Able Flight, a program that brings flight training to students with disabilities that would preclude traditional control layouts. Ovens says the Spirit of Lakeland is just the start, assuming that he has his way.
