I am building a CH650 in Australia and have found that my center wing spar is the wrong angle (XL601) and that the front fuselage side skins are also wrong (a mix of XL601 outer dimensions and CH650 pre drilled holes). As it will take some time for replacement parts to arrive down under, I would be interested to hear from anyone that is further along with the build (either CH650 or late XL601) that may be able to advise of other parts that are not correct so that I may have them all sent to me in one shipment. I believe that there may be an issue with the seat bottom? and maybe the top skin?

Hi Greg,
I found I was very unhappy with the pre-drilled holes from Zenith on
just about all the parts. When ordering replacements I ordered them
without the holes drilled. They were very happy to comply. I found
it much easier to drill the holes myself.
You might consider replacing some of the parts with scratch built
ones. I don't know about your market, but I suspect you can get
sheets of 6061-T6 where you are. It might not be very satisfying
from a financial point of view, but I predict you will feel just fine
about the accomplishment of building your own parts from
scratch. You already have the advantage of seeing what "Nearly"
correct parts look like and you have all the dimensions on your drawings.
The spar carry-through is one of those places I would demand a
correct part from Zenith. It is the heaviest load bearing part
(along with the wing spars) on the plane. You may find you can bend
it a little to match up with the rest of your plane.
Good luck,
Paul
