Hey just want to throw this out there, my daughter is the one that did my first flight video from crappy go pro and other clips my buddy filmed. If any of you would like a video of your projects edited,put to music etc,etc she said she would do it for cheap. She is a struglging college freshman looking for extra tuition money....Thanks Kay C. Caldwell..

Wondering if anyone else thinks Zenith should design an all new STOL that is a tail dragger??? Love the performance but I wish they had a tail dragger version. Don't much like the looks of the conversions I've seen.....Just a thought..

This post was long so I had to break it up.
I was looking over this "Complete CH 640 Errata"
Did you find any problems in the plans worth noting?...like lightening holes in the wrong place..etc?
I was looking this list over and maybe its all been fixed over time, Just wanted to check with you before I start cutting and bending...lol
Maybe this list below is outdated
Fuselage Discrepancies

Hi. I was wondering if you would be open to loaning out your CH640 form blocks and any other jigs. for a month to 60 days, I cover all costs. Treat them well and return them not to badly beat up...lol
I was watching some of the Ch640 videos online on Youtube.. CH-640 presentation (Part 1)
I think its a Video made by Jeff Paden. In that Video he relates that the Alarus originally had a large rudder, in 2003 the Alarus went to a smaller rudder but the CH640 retained the older Alarus large rudder.
Jeff also posted a materials list in the video and parts sheet cut out. Would be great to find those for current or future builders. Do you guys have any contact info for Jeff, does he post here anymore?. Iver tried to email him from the address listed in his old build website but it just bounces back
I was going to play around with scrap to get a good idea of what the bending process does to the size of the parts.
Small world, years ago I called Don Parnam from an ad in the back of kitplanes magazine. I was considering putting an auto conversion on my RV-7 kit I was building.
He talked to me at length and answered all my questions. I wondered why he had no web page and he said he was old and didn't have the know how. I never ended up buying anything from him but he educated me for free....so
As a thanks I whipped up a Geo-cities web page for him with google photos of his installs. You might have seen his site. but that site would have gone down with Geo-cities closing.
I never knew what happened to Don, is he still around?
