I'm most of the way done with my 801. You could build it in any order. The
real issue is to make sure that you keep the wing attach fittings on the
fuselage the same distance apart as the spars. If you build the fues. first
there's enough fudge factor in the wings to adjust the width easily enough.
Flaperons are non critical, since the flaperon arms have plenty of flex
so a couple mm here and there won't hurt anything.
For what it's worth I built my slats, and flaperons first, and then built the
wing. I clamped them in place when assembling the wing, and this allowed
more accurate adjustment of the rib spacing to match the respective attach
point.
An advantage to building the fues. last is that by the time you get to
this step, you'll be used to the poor Zenith documentation and will have
developed your clairvoyance to a greater degree ...
I have built a Kitfox as well, and I can tell you for a certainty that the
Kitfox documentation is much better than the Zenith 801 documentation.
At this point I view the Zenith docs as a rough guide, and I use my own
experience for figuring out what to do. The Zenith procedures don't
always work out well if followed to the letter.
Regards,
Jeff

John,
I'm working on making "Top Longeron Gusset" (7F3-3SP) and I noticed the
problems you posted a while back on the Zenith List. Do you think it would
be a good idea to make that part about 100mm wide (rather than the 85mm in
the plans)?

No such thing as too many clecos. Brown Tool has them for .39 each in
quantities of 100.

Those of you that skipped the tool kit from Zenith and sourced your own
tools, do you feel you saved a decent amount of money doing so?
Thanks guys.
