Interesting facts about the Zenair CH601 HD
✈ Chris Heintz designed the Zodiac series in the 1980s. The CH 601 HD followed the original CH600 as the “heavy-duty” two seat variant.
✈ Zenair in Canada and Zenith Aircraft in the USA supplied kits. Builders register most examples as experimental amateur built aircraft.
✈ The CH 601 HD uses a constant chord, 27 ft wing with a NACA 65-018 based airfoil. Flaps are not required on the HD’s high-lift wing.
✈ Recommended power for the HD spans 65 to 100 hp. Common engines include the Rotax 912 series and the Continental O-200.
✈ Tricycle gear is standard. A tailwheel configuration is a no cost option on the HD, which helps on rough grass strips.
✈ The fuel system centers on a 16 US gal header tank. Optional wing locker tanks add two 7.5 US gal tanks for extended range.
✈ The HDS “speed wing” variant shortens span to 23 ft for higher cruise. The CH 601 HD keeps the 27 ft wing for benign handling.
✈ The cabin is 44 in wide, with bubble canopy visibility and simple systems that suit training, touring and cost-effective flying.
