Hi Greg. I live in East Texas in a small town named Hallsville. It is just east of Longview. I too am building a 650. I have completed the tail kit and I am now working on fuselage. I am about 30% complete with fuselage. I will be going to the Open Hanger day with a builder friend in September and bringing back my spar assembly, rudder pedals/toe brake assembly and parts needed to dual stick conversion. I am using the HomeBuildHelp video series to help with building. These videos are a real help and I would recommend you get them. If I can be of any assistance please let me know and I will tell you what I know. Happy Building!
You can view my progress on mykitlog.com/ldward. This is a good software tool for logging construction progress and is easy to use. I decided to buy the component kits since they often make changes and this way I get all the updated parts. If I had ordered the entire kit when I started the tail kit, I would now have to install the upgrade kit so I'm glad I decided this path. Hopefully there will not be any more changes/updates for some time.
