Thanks for the pics and info guys. That does help. I'm not sure why they call this
a 51% kit. I seem to be doing a lot of planning and engineering on my own!
Anyway, I updated my signature block to include my Kitlog page. That's all i
have as far as a website and pictures right now. Maybe I can start my own website
or a CH-640 webring in the future, I just have too many other things going
on right now. Thanks again for the prompt replies.

One thing to remember is that the tank is isolated from the airframe electrically.
The plans show a tab welded on the tank to connect a grounding strap to the
spar. My tank did not come with the tab so I had to have one welded on. I guess
the filler cap likely grounds the tank to the skins, but I would make sure
you do something to ensure a good ground if your tanks did not come with the
tab.

Thanks Steve, I did stumble across a factory pic of that grounding attachment while
browsing the disk luckily. It made me start thinking of all the little things
that aren't mentioned in the IPLs... I found back in the miscellaneous section
that all the grounding straps are for an IFR equipped aircraft. Day VFR
shouldn't need them all. Mine will be for IFR, so I will need them. Static wicks
too.

Mark, I think you and I are probably about the same state of build (you're probably
a bit ahead with wings). I can make you a set of grounding straps. I have
a roll of braided plated ribbon. I'll be flying IFR as well.
What state of kit have you purchased?
As soon as things warm up a bit, I'll be steady in the shop. I have a sheet metal
roller, English wheel, TIG, MIG, torch, Smithy lathe/mill.
Let's try to pool some resources. Once you set up to make some things, the tough
part is over.
