NEW ZENAIR CH 650Ei UNVEILED!
The show was a great success as we celebrated the beginning of a new phase of Zenair activity in Europe with the introduction of the new and much-anticipated factory assembled CH 650Ei! Designer Chris Heintz was present as well as production personnel from ICP - and regional distributors from nine different European countries!
We had numerous visitors, dealers and members of the press comment on the high quality of this first pre-production aircraft. The "fit and finish" is already remarkable - and will only get better as production ramps up!
Potential customers were also thrilled that we had achieved our objective of keeping the Ready-to-Fly price very affordable: The Factory-Built CH 650Ei is one of the best values on the market today!
Distributors had an opportunity to speak with designer and manufacturer, and a representative's meeting clarified distribution questions as well as parts and servicing issues - including delivery questions: deliveries of the new CH 650Ei typically take less than two months!
Note: The CH 650Ei will only be available in Europe where it is certified and where it can be registered as an ultralight (ULM).

Members of the public as well as distributors were able to sit in the aircraft to appreciate its large cabin area, excellent comfort and visibility - and impressive list of standard equipment. Contact your regional distributor for the full list, or see here (fr.).
In addition to the new CH 650 Ei, we also had the first French-Built STOL CH 750 on display in the Zenair booth. For many, this was the first time they saw this bigger version of the classic STOL CH 701 by Zenair. This aircraft was equipped with the UL-Power 350iS (130 HP); it generated a lot of interest among pilots looking for true STOL performances in a heavy-duty all-metal aircraft:
