It looks great and appears to work just fine. Does anyone know of a good place to look for instrument pinouts or wiring diagrams? I know I can find the proper connector, just have no idea how to hook it up. I'm no where near being ready to install it, but I'll be slowly researching and planning my panel in between building the airframe sub-assemblies. Thanks.

So many things to do!!!! Anyway, thanks for all the tips and info. Which size rivet gun did you guys use, 4x, 3x or 2x? My rudder kit should be here tomorrow and I'll be ordering the horizontal stab kit as soon as it arrives. Would you guys suggest bolts, or driven rivets in those spots? Obviously, I'd be much better at installing bolts, but you think there's a requirement to check the bolts for tightness over time? If so, the rivets might be more pain in the beginning, but less hassle in the long run.

The thank had no waves deformation and they are accurate. Even with my best local welder, I cant find a better Job. First good surprise, the plan specified 0.025 material in 6061-T6, and the thanks were in 0.032. Secondo, the tank are coming with all fittings from the tank to the firewall. I don't ordered the complete kit, only the tank with fitting. It come with tube vent, fuel quality cap, fuel quality selector, electronic sensor and a gascolator, 1 inch. cork, fuel line and so on. The inventory is completed, no missing pieces, conform to plan. I will post photography later on the photo archive forum. Conclusion : Its over my expectations and It's dont pay to do it yourself. Tanks to Zenith and Mark Townson from CanZaq Aviation. -------- Christian Tremblay - Montreal, Qc A guy who build a CH640 from plan - SN0059 www.zodiac640.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 4921#204921 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 10:47:15 AM PST US Subject: Zenith640-List: Re: Extended Tank Range From: "pilot4pay" I find it odd that they would have .025 spec'd in the plans and then make the tanks in .032. In a recent conversation with Tim, he told me they used .025 for tank construction. Glad to hear you are happy with the product. .032 would definitely make for a stronger tank, and easier weld operation. Still planning to build my own, since I bought .025 on Tim's recommendation that is what I'll use. -------- Craig Smith CH640 builder SN: 0078 "Just think how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of them are even stupider!" --George Carlin Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 4948#204948 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 11:31:17 AM PST US Subject: Zenith640-List: Re: Extended Tank Range From: "Christian Tremblay" May be It's because they are bigger than standard tanks they made it in 0.032. -------- Christian Tremblay - Montreal, Qc A guy who build a CH640 from plan - SN0059 www.zodiac640.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 4955#204955 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message zenith640-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith640-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/zenith640-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/zenith640-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
