Hi, I'm Jeff and am strongly leaning toward building a CH-640. I just found this list, and was wondering if there is any activity on it? If so, just let me know, as I will have a lot of questions!! Jeff ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:47:05 AM PST US From: "Doug Geese" Subject: RE: Zenith640-List: new member, new project? Hi Jeff, There's not a bunch of activity on this list but occasionally a discussion gets started. Questions are no problem. I've just finished building a 640 from slow build kit and have inspection scheduled for the first week of August. Christian Tremblay (http://zodiac640.com/Project_CH640_Introduction.htm) is scratch building one in Canada and there are several other members on the list with flying planes.

From: "Scott Stewart" Hi Jeff, I'm also building a CH640 from plans in California. Where are you located? You'll find about a half-dozen active CH640 builders/flyers on this list who would be happy to discuss any aspect of the airplane or the build process. Hopefully you will find that the CH640 fits your mission. -------- Scott Stewart s/n: 0092 Building from plans Rudder and Stabilator complete. Wings at 50%. Fuselage at 10%.

Here's some inspiration for those building or prospective builders (Jeff). This is my ready for sign off CH640, 7 years in the making(pictures taken this evening). Lycoming O-340, steam gages, Garmin 250XL GPS/Comm. For you guys flying already, any flight characteristics, speeds, etc. would be appreciated.

I'm in Indiana. I started at the Sonerai, then to the Wittman Buttercup, then to the Bearhawk, and finally the CH-640. The more I think about what I want, the more I realize that I want to travel, and need something bigger that most 2 seaters can provide. The Bearhawk was looking good, but then I ordered plans and realized how big that welded fuselage is!! I like the 640 better, and think it will build easier in my garage.....

I'm in Evansville, IN! I would say not too far from you, but then I remember going to South Bend and to Southhaven, MI once....and it is FAR, FAR, FAR in a car..... this is why I need my own 640!
