FAA Inspection 1-5-05 : The ZODIAC CH 601 HD, the SUPER ZODIAC features tapered and shortened 'speed wings' to achieve a higher cruise speed. The wing span is reduced to 23 feet, and the wing area is lowered to 98 sq. feet, with the airfoil tapering to a 34 inch chord at the wing tips. The speed wings have full-length ailerons for very responsive controls. The SUPER ZODIAC has the same fuselage and tail sections as the CH 601 HD model; the only difference being the outboard wing panels. The outboard wings of the SUPER ZODIAC and the ZODIAC CH 601 HD can actually be interchanged.
