...EXPERIENCE IT ALL WITH THE ZODIAC. |
`... turned out to be a delight to fly and
land. Call it a BMW Z3 with wings. Cessna and Piper trainers are downright
stodgy in comparison.´
- Popular Mechanics magazine |
The
ZODIAC is the answer to your dreams, offering you superior performance and
capabilities, comfortable side - by - side seating, surprisingly affordable
costs, and best of all, the ZODIAC is available as a durable all metal kit that
you can quickly build yourself - with just basic skills and tools.
The ZODIAC is easy and affordable
to build and fly, yet it's an airplane you won't easily outgrow. The ZODIAC is
the perfect project for the first-time builder and the demanding sport pilot,
bridging the gap between performance flying and affordable costs: Simple and
quick to build; easy and fun to fly. Well suited for low-time pilots, the ZODIAC
offers exciting performance and good cross-country flying capabilities. Loaded
with standard features, the new ZODIAC models provide all-metal durability,
first-class comfort for two large persons in a wide cabin, large baggage
compartments, and much more. New complete kits reduce building time, requiring
no special skills or tools to put together. Originally introduced in 1984, the
ZODIAC design has a proven track record. It's fun and easy to fly even for the
novice pilot, yet has capabilities and performance that will thrill the most
experienced pilot.
