If you've always dreamed of building your own airplane, but aren't sure that you have the required skills, Can-Zac Aviation is providing you with the opportunity to learn all about building your own Zenith Aircraft kit at one of its Rudder workshops, where you can actually start building your own airplane. With an emphasis on gaining hands-on building experience, the informal workshops are coordinated by Can-Zac staff and held right in our workshop or yours. Small group sizes make the workshops very productive and educational.

During the educational workshop you can start building your own Zenith aircraft (the rudder tail section of either the ZODIAC, STOL CH 701 or STOL CH 801), and learn about:

Rudder Assembly (cutaway view)
  • Reading and understanding blue-prints (plans & manuals) Principles of sheet-metal construction

  • The advantages of working with sheet-metal (vs. other materials)

  • Metal aircraft building and assembly techniques and tips

  • Measuring, drilling and riveting (assembling the Zenair kit)

  • Tools, workshop and skills required to build your all-metal aircraft

  • Hints and short-cuts in assembling a kit

Assembling the Rudder Tail Section

Hands-On Building Experience at the Factory.

Assembling the Rudder Tail Section

Come prepared to work and experience first-hand how you can build your own kit airplane! You don't need any experience, skills or tools to attend.  Can-Zac's workshop is structured as an informal “hands-on” workshop, to allow participants to gain introductory hands-on building experience using standard kit parts, drawings and manuals, and basic sheet-metal tools.

Is Can-Zac to far to drive? No problem we can take the show on the road and come to you. The best help anyone can get is another builder who is local, they don't even have to be building the same plane as you, since all Zenith products share construction similarities. To make arrangements for Can-Zac to come to your location talk to others who would like to build in your area.  Arrange a location and contact us through sales@can-zacaviation.com  we can make arrangements for dates.

Can't make it to Can-Zac Aviation or gather enough people in your area, we can still help.

 Metalworking 101 with Rudder Workshop is a new two-hour DVD that covers the complete assembly of the STOL CH 701 rudder starter kit.  Independently produced by a CH 701 builder, the DVD provides an excellent introduction to getting started on your own STOL CH 701 kit project... the next best thing to attending a factory workshop. The DVD makes an excellent companion to the rudder starter kit. You can follow Jon along step by step to build your rudder, then learn valuable step for working with metal. contact sales@can-zacaviation.com to order one now.
