Zenair CH-300 Tri-Z / Zenith

CH-300 Tri-Z

Designed primarily to satisfy the need for a good cross-country per-former that falls into the sport plane category, the three passenger Tri-Z can be fitted with medium power engines in the 125-to 180-hp category. With only two persons in the front seats, the rear bench can be covered with 210 pounds of baggage. The Tri-Z easily adapts to floats or taildrag-ger options and is easy to fly. It has docile handling characteristics.

A CH-300 Tri-Z set a new 3,000-mile non-stop record in July 1978.
