I actually spoke to Jon about this.  The challenge for Jon is that there just aren't enough 801 builders out there to justify the investment on his part.  It actually costs him more that you might think (thousands of dollars) to produce these DVD series.  Zenith only sells a handful of 801 kits/plans a year, thus not yielding enough potential DVD purchasers to break even.  From what I understand the 801 is much more challenging to build than the 701 or 750, so I understand your desire to have his products support this.

Actually the 801 plans are not even available.  The aircraft is only  sold as a complete kit, so this reduces the volume considerably.

Robert;

I got in late on this conversation and may have misunderstood, but are you saying that you can't buy the CH-801 in segments anymore?....ie the wings, fuselage, rudder, elevator..etc., and now have to buy the complete airframe because it is being manufactured in Canada? I'm hoping I misunderstood

Hi Jay,

 You can't buy 801 Plans.  You can still buy kit componants.

Jay,

  

 Sorry for the misunderstanding, but akskydiver is absolutely correct, kit  components but no possibility of purchasing plans only for the 801.  You  might also be interested to know that their decision, not offer the  plans, has nothing what so ever to do with where it's being made.

  

 Robert

Does it have to do with preventing a Savannah version of the 801?

You can bet the probably played a factor in the decision.. Chris Heintz lost a lot of money on copy cat stuff from the 701 and he has a right to be pissed. With that said, for a few hundred bucks one could buy plans for the 701 and pirate that design. The same can happen with the 801 but you will need to spend 22,000 to be able to reverse engineer it to make a copy. That alone will drive off the majority of the scammers.. 

IMHO 

do not archive.
