May 14, 2010 - A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) four-person National Kit Evaluation Team (NKET) concluded its two day visit to Zenith Aircraft Company in Mexico, Missouri today to determine that the STOL CH 750 aircraft kit will officially allow an amateur-builder to meet the "major portion" (or "51% percent") requirement of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations part 21, Certification Procedures for Products and Parts, § 21.191(g).

While it will be several more weeks before the FAA issues its official determination and the STOL CH 750 kit is added to the FAA's official "Revised Listing of Amateur-Built Aircraft Kits," Zenith Aircraft officials were pleased with the NKET's visit: "Based on the FAA's on-site inspections and our discussions the STOL CH 750 kit will be added to the FAA list of of eligible aircraft kits," stated Zenith Aircraft Company's president Sebastien Heintz.

The all-new STOL CH 750 is available as an easy-to-build kit which revolutionizes ease and simplicity of construction, drawing upon Zenith's decades of experience in the kit industry, while also using new state-of-the-art CNC fabrication equipment, resulting with a complete kit that can be assembled (by first time builders) with only basic tools and  skills.

The STOL CH 750 airframe requires less than 400 hours to build from the complete factory-supplied kit.  The kit includes many CNC pre-cut and pre-drilled skins and components, made with extensive use of match-hole technology, and includes detailed drawings (blueprints) and photo assembly manuals.  The standard kit comes with factory-finished wing spar assemblies, and is supplied with all hardware needed to complete the airframe.
