About the CH-600 Zodiac

The Zenair CH-600 Zodiac is an amateur-built, fixed-wing kit aircraft designed for construction by hobbyist builders. It is configured as a small, light machine intended for recreational assembly and operation.

The design was brought to market by a Missouri-based enterprise that acquired manufacturing rights from its creator, an aeronautical engineer with previous experience working on prominent European aerospace projects.
