Assembling the new Zenith STOL CH 701 rudder

Short demonstration of the NEW Zenith STOL CH 701 rudder being assembled in less than ten minutes! Notice that Zenith Aircraft's Calvin Heintz and Jon Humberd only use hand tools (cleco temporary hole clamp fasteners), without any measuring or drilling tools required! Of course, they didn't rivet the assembly together in this video - this would have doubled the time needed to complete the rudder assembly (using a pneumatic rivet puller or hand riveter).

Zenith Aircraft Company is in the process of updating the STOL CH 701 kit to incorporate the use of final hole size match-drilled parts throughout. First introduced in 1986, the STOL CH 701 aircraft was developed as an “off-airport” short take-off and landing kit aircraft to fulfill the demanding requirements of both sport pilots and first-time builders. With the STOL CH 701 designer Chris Heintz combined the features and advantages of a “real” airplane with the short-field capabilities of an “ultralight” aircraft. The aircraft features fixed leading-edge slats for high lift, full-span flaperons (both ailerons and flaps), an all-flying rudder, and durable all-metal construction.
While the basic design has remained the same, many significant improvements have been introduced over the years, including a higher useful load, easier and quicker build kits, and more detailed drawings and step-by-step assembly instructions.
The latest STOL CH 701 will introduce a number of new features in addition to being easier and quicker to build!
