I know who Sam is, do not know him personally. I has within days of buying a 701 and the deal fell through. So I am focusing on my flight training, and learning as much as I can about this amaizing little plane.

Yes I am just starting a 650, I have started with the engine, I purchased 3 engines an EA-81, EA-82 (cannot use in this plane), and a Corvair. I will be using the Corvair. I have it all apart.
As for the plane, I have purchased the prints. I also went through the prints and took each part and scaled, then overlaid it onto scaled sheets using microsoft visio. I might turn the visio files into pdf files and give them to whoever wants to use it to build a 650, Zenith does not include a sheet count or how the parts should be cut out of each sheet.
I will probably order my aluminum next week so I can started, I am very busy with work right now but it will start to slow down soon, I will post some pics of the engine.
What plane did you build before?

My 601 HD is now finished and flying, (but not yet painted) Unfortunately not with me since 1 July when I was grounded until I can clear up my "problem" with my Cardiologist. It looks as if I won't get clearance from him until end of Nov. so I guess it is time to put it away for the winter. I do enjoy winter flying so live in hope that I will get a few nice days to do some early next year. George
