APEX Aerospace

It was great to see the Spirit of Lakeland in the Zenith Aircraft booth last week! The aircraft has sold and will be flying to its new home in the near future. I wish the new owner many years of happy flying ahead, and we hope to see it down the road. Thank you to everyone who has supported this project. It crushed me to see this program get killed, but its educational value was incredible to those who helped build it!

If this airplane project didn’t happen, several students most likely didn’t sign up to be A&P mechanics or aerospace engineers. I’m proud to say that APEX Aerospace has picked up where this project finished! Many more aircraft builds will happen, and we are just getting started!

If you or someone you think might be interested in looking to add an aircraft build to your high school aerospace program, please email [email protected] for more information.

Spring Break 2026, Part 2

Spring Break, 2026. Our goal is to have it on it's landing gear by the end of this school year.

It was a great week in Williston, North Dakota building airplanes in the classroom!

A huge thank you to Michael Anthony from KUMV-TV for stopping by to see what students can achieve when they have the proper tools to learn. He came for just a couple photos and learned about a much bigger story after spending time with the students. They even taught him how and convinced him to pull his own rivets!

We are booking now for the 2026-2027 school year. Contact Andy at [email protected] for more information.

Williston aviation students build airplane Williston High School’s aviation students are learning more than just to fly airplanes; they are getting a first-hand look at how aircraft are made.

Special thanks to Governor Kelly Armstrong for taking time to learn about youth aircraft building in the high school environment! He even pulled a rivet on the Zenith Aircraft Cruzer going together at the Williston Basin Career & Technical Education Center

We want to thank everyone who supported us this year, and we cannot wait to share the next chapter of our story!

We wish all of our partners, family, and friends a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Happy Holidays!

We are often asked about the un-panel installation in the CH750 airframes. Our first aircraft was the first Cruzer to feature the un-panel, and we also housed the G3X into the mount. We loved this set up, as the visibility was incredible!

We’re heading home from a great trip to Williston, North Dakota! We’re honored to have the opportunity to work with such a talented teaching staff, and an incredible group of enthusiastic students who are already dreaming beyond their classroom!

We’re excited to share that we’ve finalized the details on a new Zenith Aircraft CH750 Cruzer kit, that will be assembled by high school students in Williston, ND!

Our North Dakota adventure starts in just a couple weeks. Follow along for updates on that and other projects we’re working on this winter.

Our aircraft projects center around a 24 month build schedule. If you’re interested in learning more about our projects or want to get involved, please feel free to contact me direct! Thank you for your interest and support! More information and news as it comes in!

We are proud to announce some changes to our aircraft builds. Starting this fall we are expanding our aircraft build projects to high schools in the lower 48 states! Apex Aerospace is kicking off the 2025 school year with a number of Zenith Aircraft CH750 Cruzer aircraft builds. We have 3 additional build slots available for this school year, please contact us if you are interested in getting started!
