I was home on leave and only had time to browse through the plans, but I did note some areas they had highlighted for special attention to be paid to. I haven't noticed yet if any of the drawings have been updated in them. The disk works fine too. It seems to use Firefox (Internet Explorer if you use that I guess) as the medium for displaying all the photos and presentations. It doesn't go on the internet, all the info is on the disk. There are a TON of pics and quite a few .pdf docs that will come in very handy during the build. They did a decent job of breaking the info down into folders separating the major sections (rudder, stabilator, wings, fuselage, etc.). I would recommend spending the $150 to anyone who is less than halfway through the build. -------- Mark s/n 094 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=308293#308293 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:15:44 PM PST US Subject: Zenith640-List: Re: Skinning the Stab From: "super58d" Craig, I had the same questions and took a middle of the road approach to the issue. I riveted about half way up the rear skins on both sides. This held the entire assembly together much better and helped keep it straight and true while drawing in the forward skins. It then still allowed me to lift the forward sections to debur the new holes from the nose skins. I found that ensuring the whole assembly stayed straight and true while keeping everything together was quite difficult while applying pressure to pull in the nose skins. -------- Mark s/n 094 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=308294#308294 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:53:38 PM PST US Subject: Zenith640-List: Re: CAD disk and new Photos From: "pilot4pay" Did you get any errors opening any files?
