The natural step up from the Zenith is this threepassenger version. Designed primarily to satisfy the need for a good cross-country performer that falls into the sportplane category, the 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 taildragger options and is easy to fly. It has docile handling characteristics.
