Learn to build a rudder — virtually

By Janice Wood · April 6, 2020 ·

For the first time in 25 years, Zenith’s rudder building workshop will go online.

Watch Pat Long’s Hatz come to life in this short video.

Ever wonder what a kit looks like when it’s first delivered?

Kits went to pilots in Massachusetts and Montana.

Building an aircraft can be noisy.

Van’s Aircraft leads the list, with Zenith Aircraft, CubCrafters, RANS, and Kitfox taking second to fifth place.

After the 25-minute tour, the only question that remains is: “Is it time for me to get an airplane?”

The video features several homebuilt aircraft with very different engines.

The video also includes some flying scenes, as well as close-up views of the many Zenith models.
