Important Notice:
For definitive instructions regarding all elements from the basic airframe, always refer to the original aircraft drawings!
Please note that Zenair has only ever offered drawings and airframe kits for Chris Heintz designs. Ready-to-fly aircraft built from these "drawings and kits" and sold in Europe have often been slightly modified by the assembler to meet customer requests, regional needs and/or local regulations.
WARNING: Zenair and/or Chris Heintz cannot be responsible for deviations from their standard designs made by various independent builders. To know if a specific aircraft truly conforms to Zenair specifications, it will need to be carefully compared to original Zenair reference drawings.

The MASTER INSPECTION list for the Zenair Zodiac
This pre-first-flight inspection list was developed by AMD in the USA. It's use is mandatory for the inspection process of the factory-assembled S-LSA version of the CH 601 XL and CH 650. Zenair strongly recommends that this list also be used by owners of Experimental and/or ULM versions of these aircraft, prior to first flight, for annual inspections and/or after major overhauls or repairs.
Note: European (ultralight) versions of the Zodiac differ slightly from their US counterparts. This list will therefore need to be adapted by the user, especially as it relates to installed engine and landing gear system.

Where to get your Zenair parts and accessories:
ULM Technologie (France) is no longer acting as a distribution point for parts or assemblies for European-based owners of Zenair ultralights of Experimental aircraft. We now recommend that original Zenair parts be ordered through an established regional distributor, or for faster service, directly from the Zenair factory (Canada).
Please note that delivery times from the factory can vary greatly and shipping costs for "rush" orders can also get quite expensive. Plan ahead and your patience and planning-ahead will be rewarded...
To order parts, you will need to know the correct part number(s). The aircraft DRAWINGS are your primary reference for getting part numbers; this website is also still active to assist with Part Number identification.
