I've been watching, learning, disheartened by your accident and keeping your information for the past four years or so. I hope things improve. Good luck my friend.

He called tonight to become more fam iliar with the type of Zenith that he'll be inspecting. The conversation t urned into "I'm glad it's not a 601 and all the problems they have" referri ng to the unproven and completely bogus aileron flutter issue. Like other Zenith designs the 640 does not have massed balance ailerons. I'm not sure what I'll be dealing with when the DAR realizes this. You Z-BAGers have c ast doubt on ALL Zenith designs with your un-founded and irresponsible witc h hunt. What part of "Experimental" don't guys understand. IMHO you have NO business building, flying, or maintaining anything experimental. If you want the likes of the FAA and NTSB regulating everything about your aircra ft I suggest you get something certified and leave the rest of us alone. H as anyone noticed that these accidents started when the LSA stuff hit the b ooks and many inactive, un-proficient pilots began flying again after many years. Gig, Juan, Scott and others, I now feel your pain.
