I'm on the east side of Erie in Harborcreek. I'm not sure about this message board. Maybe it would be easier to use standard e-mail.

Hi Alan, I'm 14 months into it and have made good progress at times and had some setbacks. Like having to rework the center spar and wings. I bought one of the first full kits and there were some issues to sort out.
I expect to do the final riveting of the forward fuseloge side skins, center spar, and firewall and then get it on its feet within the next week or so. The wings are together but still lots of work there. Then its the canopy and to date there isn't a plan from Zenith for doing this. I have a new jab 3300 waiting in the corner.
I still need all the instruments and firewall forward stuff. Since your already a pilot and I am not I may try to pick your brain from time to time. I have several pilot friends that have given me a good bit of help.
There are two other gentlemen in the area with 601's.
Please feel welcome to visit me so I can show off and I'm sure I can offer some building advice.
Chuck
