I was checking the database for accidents relating to the Zenith CH 701. I set
the date range 1983 to present and left everything at default except the model
which I listed as CH 701. I only found 2, would you say that was pretty good?
Both of those appear to be related to engine failures which a kitplane
manufacturer cannot be faulted although I do wonder about the glide
characteristics of a design specifically for STOL operations
