I think you can join the forum at zenith.aero. Although it says for "active builders" I don't think they check. Just don't ask wannnabe questions that you could easily find the answers to in the archives, and especially don't give wannabe answers (there are already plenty of people with lots of opinions and no aircraft experience) and you'll be okay. There is another group zenvair.freeforums.net that is all about Zenith airplanes with Corvair engines, they will let you join as a guest reader if you have Zenith plans and a Corvair conversion manual (which is not as silly an option as it might seem.) If you are a first time homebuilder, don't be too narrow in your learning. There is a lot in common among all of the Zenith designs, so you should be looking at 601/650, 701 and 750 STOL projects too. Many of the parts are identical and the workflow is the same, the tradeoffs among the high wing models are exactly what you would expect. Your best close source of info, although I think he sold his plane, is Dr. Andy Elliott of Mesa. He built a 601, instrumented and flew it a lot. Tom Butler in Payson and Tod Nutall in Gilbert are building 750s, according to the Zenith site. I am about half done building a Cruzer and am having a good time with it. You're welcome to visit if you visit the central Calif coast. If you aren't ready to buy the plans or the kit yet, you should buy Chris Heintz' book, see www.flyingonyourownwings.com and you will learn a lot about design and about Zenith's philosophy from that. Otherwise feel free to ask questions here.
