That Zenith CH 750 is pretty cool with its amazing STOL capability - but to my untrained eye, the cabin area strength looks pretty weak to me. The aircraft looks as if a heavy nose landing would impact the cabin windscreen pillars severely - and they look horribly flimsy to my eyes. The rest of the craft looks pretty robust, if somewhat agricultural.
There's no arguing with the panoramic viewing ability from the cabin - but I wonder if it's been at the expense of cabin strength?
The company appears to be well organised, and the building methods are very adaptive, clear, and straightforward. I trust they have "deluxe" seating options. Most kitbuilds seem to have seating stolen from the nearest park.
