My Subaru was an eg 25 with different cams suppose to be 180 hp at 5000 rpm. My re drive was plans built by myself. I got the plans from a guy named Don Parnam. He use to build them for gyro copters. It was a belt re drive. No reason I can tell to have two rear rudder skins. One would work fine as far as I can tell

Just search on the top right of Zenithaero CH 640 It will bring up pages and pages of photos..Alexander Kuzman is the name of the guys photos that I looked at most. He is a member of the zenithaero site.

P.S.S. I wish Zenair would re do their build CD. It is basically a bunch of pictures of them building a ch 2000. I learned alot more from the pictures on this web site from the guys in France building CH 640s. There are like hundreds of photos on their builds. With the other Zenith models there is an actual build instructions, that would have been very helpful. I had to at times un build things because I would get the cart before the horse so to speak...

P.S. I would of had mine flying a couple years earlier if I would have just set it up for a Lycoming from the start. I had a Subaru mounted with all the fuel injection computer stuff ready and running and then got cold feet..
Cheers

I never had a build sheet per se..I would just buy the raw stock as I needed it. It is way cheaper than the kit. I probably only needed 6 to 8 thousand dollars for all the material to build the air frame. There is a pretty good You tube presentation comparing the build costs etc. search ch640 part 1

Hi Michael, I also built my CH 640 from plans. At the final paperwork stage now. I should have mine flying in a month or so (Pending inspection) Welcome!! A bit of advice, make something happen every day if possible. Before you know it it will like like a plane...
