You didn't have the 3 spars all setup together as a 27 foot assembly though for
drilling the main attach holes, right? You just did the right spar to the center
spar then took that apart and setup the left spar in the center spar.
My center spar is now hanging on the wall. Once I make the left spar I'll set the
dihedral for that.

Wade,
Rivet the rear most L angels to the floor first and use a hand rivet gun with
the nose
piece ground on one side to fit in close where it will fit under the longeron.

Wade,
I riveted the side "L" angles to the baggage floor first, then the assembly
can be folded about the center line and positioned under the longerons.

I did the same, except that I went one step further. I split the baggage floor
down the middle to ease the handling (w/ ZAC approval). I riveted an .025 doubler
under the seam. Sure made it easier to manage.

I riveted the L angles to the baggage floor and then installed the baggage
floor into the fuselage and riveted the side skins to the angles. Leave the
baggage floor traverse L angles off until the floor is installed. This way,
you can bow the baggage floor to get it under the top longerons.

I did what Jay did and split the floor down the middle. If my attached picture
worked, you can see the double row of cleco's where I substituted a u-channel
for the L-angle. The aft floor will have the side L-angles riveted to it before
placing the floor in the fuselage due to the longeron proximity. The forward
baggage floor will be left un-riveted until close to the end.
Good luck,

| Subject: | Zip fly-in workshop great turn-out! |
After completing my CH 640 rudder in Brampton ON at the RAA hosted Zip
fly-in, I would like to extend credit for the great people who helped,
hosted, encouraged and made the experience a worthwhile effort.
The RAA folks, Alain and Pierre as well as the rest of the attendees (with
the exception of the VANS snobs who tried to provoke a scene) were some of
the nicest folks you'll ever find anywhere.
I would also like to give exceptional credit to Mark Townsend for his
patience and expert guidance during the process. For anyone who lives in the
Northeast, I would recommend Mark and Can-Zac as the supplier and technical
counselor of choice for all of the Zenith products. If Mexico seems a bit
far, Mark can provide everything you need from kits to technical support of
the highest caliber.
Kudos and sincere thanks to all members of the Brampton RAA chapter, and
especially Mark for his tutelage and tolerance!

You are correct, I setup the right and center spar then repeated the process for
the left and center spar. Pretty much just followed the directions on the 6-W-4
drawing and built the right triangle 3588, 3605, 355.
