    Anyone here fly a Zenith 701 or a Zodiac?

    I'm seriously considering building one of the popular Zenith designs: either a CH701 or a Zodiac XL. Does anyone here have any real-world experience with either of these particular planes...? My questions: 1. How practical are the Folding Wings of the CH701? Being able to save money by...
