STOL CH 701 WINS AWARD!
Christopher lifts off from his 500 ft back-yard strip!
Chistopher Desmond of Sebastopol, CA is the proud new owner and pilot of the Kube-built N-533Z.
Robert Kube, a retired machinist and racecar builder from northern California, has always enjoyed building things. Putting together a Zenith kit was just the ticket for him!
Robert admires perfection: attention to details is his specialty. His STOL CH 701 was meticulously assembled throughout.
His efforts have just been recognized with the “Best of Show” award at the 41st annual Fly-in and Air show in Watsonville, CA.
Having now sold his STOL CH 701, Robert is considering a CH 801 as his next project...
