The Zenith CH 750 STOL is an enlarged and refined successor to the CH 701, offering a wider fuselage, greater payload, and improved cruise speed while retaining exceptional short-field performance.
Recognition (WEFT)
| W — Wings | High-mounted, straight |
|---|---|
| E — Engines | 1 × piston, nose-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | 5.74 m fuselage |
| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- full-span leading-edge slats on high wing, similar to CH 701 but wider chord
- wider cabin than CH 701 with larger windscreen
- fixed tricycle undercarriage with optional tundra tyres
Nearly identical profile to the CH 701 but distinguishable by its noticeably wider cabin, larger windows, and slightly longer wingspan.

History
Zenith Aircraft introduced the CH 750 in 2007 to address builder demand for more cabin room and higher cruise capability than the CH 701 provided. The wider fuselage accommodates larger occupants and increased baggage, while the extended wingspan maintains the low stall speeds the design is known for. It quickly became one of Zenith's most popular kits.
Variants
The CH 750 Cruzer is a refined variant with a more streamlined cowling and improved aerodynamics for cross-country touring; the Super Duty adds reinforced structure for heavier loads.
Where you'll see it
CH 750s appear on the UK LAA register and are popular with bush flying enthusiasts who value the design's metal construction and ease of repair in remote locations.
