Tapanee Aviation began producing wing replacement kits for the Zenith STOL CH 701 featuring retractable leading-edge slats. Later the company designed a new fuselage to go with the wings, which became the Tapanee Pegazair-80 and the development Tapanee Pegazair-100. Later the two-seat Tapanee Levitation 2 and four-seat Tapanee Levitation 4 models were added, although the Levitation 2 is no longer offered.
