601XL(b)
Completed 601 XL(b) in 2013 after building mostly from scratch after 7 years and 7 months of building. Flew it for 19 great hours, but then crashed the plane. A bit disappointed about the ratio flying time to building time.
640
Bought plans summer 2014, received complete kit on 11/13/2014, installed UL-Power 520iS engine, first engine run 6/2/2021, but much wiring remaining

Hi Maarten
I would be glad to show you my 640. Email me at toothmaker1@gmail to set up a time and get directions.

Hi Maarten
Put answer in 601 discussion- then decided to look up your page-
I lived in Kerrville for 12 years and flew my Mooney out of Kerrville and based it and flew out of Comfort also.
Good luck building
