PRESS RELEASE, February 2010. See the COPA and RAA magazines.
Zenair Ltd. re-established as the official representative for Chris Heintz designs
in Canada.
Midland, Ontario, Canada Zenair Ltd., a pioneer in the Canadian light aircraft
kit industry, has been re-established as the official Canadian representative
for Chris Heintz kit aircraft designs. Aeronautical engineer Chris Heintz founded
Zenair Ltd. in 1974 to manufacture aircraft kits and components for the
burgeoning market for homebuilt aircraft and over the years has designed more
than 20 aircraft models for the sport aviation marketplace. In 1992, Zenith Aircraft
Company was formed in Missouri to manufacture and market Chris Heintz
kit aircraft designs from it central U.S. location. The company currently produces
kits for the popular high-wing STOL CH 750 and the sleek low-wing CH 650,
as well as earlier models such as the STOL CH 701 light sport utility kit plane.
Zenair Ltd. will benefit Canadian customers in numerous ways as the Canadian dealer
for Chris Heintz designs in Canada. Zenair stock complete airframe kits
at its factory in Ontario, as well as section kits and individual parts and components
to better service the hundreds of Canadian builders across the country.
In-stock parts means better service and support to our customers in Canada,
explained Mat Heintz, vice president of Zenair Ltd. Customers can now pick-up
their kits at Zenair which can easily save more than $1,200.00 in crating and
shipping charges, not to mention the hassles with importing a kit through customs.
Zenair Ltd. replaces Can-Zac Aviation Ltd. for Zenith Aircraft kit sales and service
in Canada, though Can-Zac Aviation will continue to offer onsite builder
assistance and Canadian Advanced Ultralight quick-build assemblies: We help
customers to finish their kits in record time at our facility and assist them
with professional builder assistance, states Mark Townsend, owner of Can-Zac Aviation
Ltd. We can now focus all of our energy on building and flying. Mark
Townsend is well known among Zenair aircraft owners.
Zenair Ltd. has been actively producing the complete kits for the four-seat Zodiac
CH 640 (a low wing based on the certified CH 2000 designs) and the four-seat
STOL CH 801, a utility high-wing aircraft, from its production facilities in
Midland, Ontario. Zenair also manufactures and markets a complete line of lightweight
all-metal floats for light aircraft, which are sold in kit form or
factory-assembled and available as straight floats or in amphibious versions.
Zenair Ltd. typically employs a skilled workforce of 15 to 20 staff for the manufacturing
of parts and assemblies which are shipped to customers around the
world.
Also, if you are planning on registering your STOL or Zodiac project as an AULA,
call Matt at Zenair ASAP as Mark at Can-Zac is not signing off the SOC anymore.

So how do you align the strut fairings? Use the top of the fuselage as level
and align them with that?

No problem Don. I don't have the paperwork as its all in the hangar, but it
was a company from Ohio so that's the likely the one. All four struts can't
weigh a pound, if that, and they were easy to put on. They are secured by
the bolt that attaches to the jury strut and fit tightly so that you have to
tap them on, so they definitely are easy to mount.
The only problem I had was that the paint didn't do quite as good a job on
the struts as the rest of the plane, for some reason - maybe I scuffed it up
too much or too little, though it seems to stick fine, just not as smooth.
As I went to VG's and the streamlined struts and did a lot of other little
cleanup jobs, if I get an increase in speed I won't know exactly where it
came from.
WOW, Francisco, your upholstery looks fantastic!

Thanks, bobkat.
Look forward to further reports on the changes. I noticed you mentioned
strut fairings which I have been contemplating for too long and need to get
going. I searched for "PVC struts" and found a company in Ohio who claims
to be running a special, four extruded struts eight foot long for $150 plus
shipping. fly 103.com. I have seen prices up to $200. Sorry for stepping on
your post but, I know others will find this and your information helpful.
Thanks, Don B

Hello Ben - As another emailer has told you, the entire 801 operation has
moved to Canada and is under direct control of Mathieu Heintz. Good luck w
ith customer service -- it is as cold as Canada.

That's a very good question.... Last year I was wanting to buy a spare fire
wall for the 801 series so I can fabricate some motor mounts for customers.
.. Roger @ Zenith is Mexico Mo. told me the complete 801 kit was being prod
uced up in Canada... I emailed Mark and got absolutely NO answer back.... N
ow I am wondering who is building the 801 kits ....
do not archive

Can anyone tell me why Can-Zac is no longer the zenith distributor for Onta
rio,Canada?Wanted to sign up for a workshop and was informed by zenith head
office in the U.S. that I will have to contact the new distributor in Midl
and Ontario,which was fine until I called them and was informed that they w
ere not planning any workshops in the near future.
I will probably still place my order but was just curious what happened to
Can-Zac as I know they held numerous workshops throughout the year.
Thanks.
Mike
