Elmer Webster's STOL CH 701, as featured in the July 2009 issue of Kitplanes magazine (Completions, page 70)

"Take two winters of evenings and weekends, add the engineering genius of Chris Heintz, and stir in a few dollars. The result is N701ET, a really tough little sport flier! The Zenith CH 701 kit was a snap to build and the easiest plane to fly I've ever seen. Built and trimmed exactly to the plans, the first flight was essentially hands-off with no surprises. It has a Rotax 912S powerplant, long range tanks and many little extras. I also added the tail feathers VGs, and after 55 hours, 50- to 60-foot takeoffs are routine. Wheel skis and floats are next on the agenda! An ideal fishing machine, it can be seen here, resting in its natural habitat on a riverbank in south central Alaska."
