A step by step video guide for builders of the popular Zenith CH701 aircraft kit.

Return to Build Videos

This video (originally sold as a DVD) features a Rotax 912S engine installation utilizing the dynafocal ring mount  included in the new Zenith firewall forward kit. The demonstrations and explanations on this DVD are very specific to this new mounting system with the CH701 airframe. For installation guidance utilizing the older bed mount with the CH701, we recommend our sister video: Rotax 912 Installation Tips & Techniques, which describes more generic installation details of the 912 engine. Both of these DVD titles from HomebuiltHELP compliment each other in the information they provide to the builder.

 
This DVD is a single volume in a series of videos being developed to cover the entire build process for the CH701 kit.  912S Engine Installation is meant to follow the building progress after construction of the FORWARD  FUSELAGE .   

Note: This production is not associated or endorsed by Zenith Aircraft. It does not replace or supersede the documentation provided with the kit.  It is meant to be an aid in building the aircraft and its methods are presented only as a suggestion to builders.

This video is approximately 2 hours in length .
