Go the www.zenthair.com there is a choice for builders on the upper left
side of the page. If you are a serial numbered builder you should have the
user name and password. If you do not have them call Shirley at Zenith.

Don’t mean to be a dummy, but does this site have anything relevant to the CH640? I just found out that the 640 is a Zenair Ltd. “exclusive”.
You can’t even get a 640 rudder builder class at the Mexico MO location, so I was wondering if they treated the builder support info the same way.
I was at first in love with the 801, but after careful consideration of our past (and future) flying mission profiles, I would be better served by the 640 features.
My intent is to get as much prior knowledge as I can to plan my shop, tools, panel, power plant systems in advance.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the link. I've already been there and the information is pretty
limited in scope and detail.
In the meantime, I'm learning from all of you building the other aircraft.
I'm sure that a lot of Chris's design and construction methods are common to
all models, just the details will be different. Thanks again.

Thanks Mark, I was confident that you folks were there to support the entire Zenith line, it’s just that the Mexico MO people don’t support the 640.
I was hoping to find just a little more detail on what I’m getting into with the 640. The Zenith-air secure builder site is everything but the 640. the info on the Zenair builders resources is , well “limited”. Not trying to be critical, or accusatory, I’m just intensely curious.
I recently gave up my “04 182 turbo with G1000 glass. My plans for the 640 include either the G600 or G900x panel, and an Innodyn turbine for power. I like to plan ahead for budgetary and logistical concerns. I still have my hangar at the airport, where I plan to set up the shop. So right now I’m just vacuuming up all the info I can. I’m going to try to get down to Sun-n-Fun to see you folks there, but more likely the money for that trip will be better saved up for a rudder class after you get done down south.
The good news for me is Can-Zac is closer than Mexico MO. The biggest hurdle are the customs guys at the border who seem to delight in harassing Americans.
Then I have to deal with US customs bringing back the rudder. I can’t imagine what kind of event they’ll blow that up to. Probably ask me to open up skins to look for explosives.
Any way, I’m looking forward to this project. After loosing my plane, I’m going through withdrawal symptoms from not flying.

Lots of photos of the rudder class and the build in progress might make things move more smoothly at the border crossing. Make sure your face is clear in some of the photos as an ID feature.

I must be slow to understand the builders web site but I can't seem to find the info that was referenced on the builders site. I get logged in but where do I go next.

Hi Craig,
I am a builder from plan of the CH640. I have done rudder and tail wing, Center Web Spar and working on wings. You can find some information on my web site – more than 125 photos. If you want to prepare and construct I suggest to visit mine, I will be happy to answer your questions the better that I can inside my limited experience.
Note : I exchange info with 3-4 others guys who build from plan.

Craig,
I’m a 640 builder located in Northeast Indiana. I am hoping to fly mine within the next year, so I’m in the later building stages. My Dad is building the 601 and the process is quite similar. I’ve used a website put together by 640 builder Jeff Paden of New York to aid in the assembly/build process. www.madbbs.com/~jpaden As far as crossing the border, I’ve done it twice. The first was with my wing kit in an enclosed trailer and the second with my canopy kit. The folks at Zenair prepare you well with the appropriate documentation to get you through customs. I would highly recommend a trip to Zenair to view the factory and if nothing else, talk to Mr. Heintz himself. I’m not sure where you’re located, but your welcome to come see my project. I live on an airport, so if you have something to fly come on over. www.tropria.com

Hello Craig,
I built and fly a CH640 (mine is the red/white one on the Zenair update page). They used to have a rudder build class at AMD in Eastman, GA, but I don't know if that is still available. Support for the 640 comes mainly from Zenair directly, or AMD. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me directly at stephen.adams(at)hcahealthcare.com.
