The Zenith Zodiac CH 601 is a two place side by side seating, low wing, designed by Canadian aeronautical engineer Chris Heintz. The CH 601 was first produced in 1984.

Currently the CH 601 is manufactured as a complete aircraft by outlets in the U.S., but most have been built as amateur-built experimental aircraft with kits being produced and sold by the Zenith Aircraft Company.

The CH 601 can be powered by a number of engine options including the Rotax 912 series of four stroke engines, and the Corvair aircraft engine conversion, it features dual controls, hingeless ailerons, bubble canopy, and all metal construction using blind rivets. Building times are reported to be in the 500 to 750 hour range.

In Canada the CH 601 can be built and flown as a basic ultralight, an advanced ultralight or amateur-built aircraft. Pilots in the United States may fly the CH 601 with a Sport Pilot license or as an experimental amateur-built aircraft.

Several variants of the Zodiac CH601 are available

  • Zodiac CH601 HD: an updated model of the original Zodiac CH 600
  • Zodiac CH601 HDS: a version of the HD with tapered and shortened wings for higher cruise speed
  • Zodiac CH601 (UL): a lightened version, with a gross weight of 1058 lbs (481 kg), suitable for registration as an advanced ultralight
  • Zodiac CH601 XL or simply the "Zodiac XL": the newest version, featuring a new wing design, landing gear and fuselage.
