I started my CH640 slow build kit in summer of 2003 - plans s/n 0040. The wings, HT, and rudder are done and hanging in the garage. The fuselage is on it 's landing gear. Engine mount is installed. My AeroSport IO-360 will be delivered this month. Working on the wiring diagram and plan for the systems installation now. Will go with a dual GRT HXr system. Zenith in Canada is working on a new mold for the 640/801 cowling that will work with either the IO-360 or IO-375 engines. Should have my cowling by Christmas. Would like to hear how other CH640 projects are progressing out there. Thanks !

The only things purchased from Zenith were the complex fiberglass pieces and canopy, doors, and front windows - things I could not mold on my own. I took two years off to make an RV-9A for a friend, but I am now back on the 640. The firewall-back fuselage is 99% complete, the empennage is complete. The wings are 90% complete. I'm working on the wiring now, and I expect to have everything except the firewall-forward complete in a month, or so. I'm shopping around for a mid-time used O-360 now, so if anyone has any good leads, please let me know. -------- Scott Stewart s/n: 0092 Building from plans Rudder and Stabilator complete. Wings at 90%. Fuselage nearly complete.

Had to move from Michigan to Kentucky and a few other things going on that made it difficult to spend time on the project. We are back to progress. Have the tail surfaces done, the ailerons and flaps are done. The right wing spar is on the bench, have added the extra rib attach uprights for double fuel tanks, and am getting ready to drill the rib attachments. Still planning on a Mazda 13b rotary powerplant. -------- 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=385070#385070 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 04:04:19 PM PST US Subject: Zenith640-List: Re: 640 Builders Check-In From: "jstruhar" I bought plans s/n 0022 early this year along with a partially completed wing kit. My wife and I are closing this week (hopefully) on an adjoining property on which we intend to build a shop/garage. Meanwhile, the wings are in storage while I build small parts in my small garage. Like Craig Smith, I am planning on a Mazda 13b powerplant. -------- John Struhar CH640 s/n 0022 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=385080#385080 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
