All;

     Recently there was some discussion as to how to  announce a Zenith CH701 to a controller. I went to the ICAO website and this is  what I found for the CH701. 

  

     ZENAIR CH-701 Stol CH70

I didn't see the previous discussion, but as a current tower air traffic controller, I want to hear  "...Experimental Zenair [callsign]..." on initial contact.  If I need further clarification on what you are, I'd want you to compare it to something I know performance-wise, like "similar to a piper cub".



This helps us plan when it comes to pattern entry and spacing/sequencing to the runway.  A Lancair and a CH701 are both experimentals, but I'm going to work them very differently.



When it comes to flight plan filing, HXA/[equipment code] should be used (for the 701 at least) as the type aircraft/equimpent suffix.  In the remarks you might optionally indicate typ a/c Zenair CH701.



This is the appendix from the FAA Air Traffic Control Handbook dealing with Homebuilt/Experimental Aircraft type designators:
