Officials with Missouri-based Zenith Aircraft Co., exhibiting at the Sun 'n Fun Fly-In in Lakeland, Fla., this week, said they were surprised by the National Transportation Safety Board's recommendation to ground their amateur-built Zodiac CH-601XL aircraft. The NTSB cited the fact that the single-engine, two-seater airplane has broken apart in flight six times since 2006, killing 10 people, including one man in the aircraft on his way to the Sun 'n Fun event last year, and officials say that since the recommendation, two independent firms, one in the U.S. and one in Germany, have conducted flutter analyses on the amateur aircraft kits and found no indications of flutter.
