Based on the Zodiac CH 601 XL model introduced in 2001, the new ZODIAC CH 650 has been developed specifically to meet teh U.S. LSA rules and aimed at the Canadian upcoming LSA introduction. Presently the Zodiac CH650 can be licensed under Canadian regulations as a homebuilt or Advanced Ultralight and offers maximum performance and capability possible under the new upcoming LSA category in Canada.  With new and updated features and modern styling, the Zodiac CH 650 replaces the Zodiac XL model.

New aircraft models, like the Zodiac CH 650 and the new STOL CH 750, keep Can-Zac Aviation Ltd at the forefront, leading the Canadian light aircraft industry.  This newest model introduces refinements that compete directly with European imports released into the Canadian marketplace, while still offering an exceptional value and choices, allowing builders to construct the Zodiac CH 650 from complete Zenith Aircraft Company kits, component kits, or even from plans-only, and offering kit builders a wide selection of engine choices to power their aircraft.
