I have a pretty mundane question.



I'm expecting delivery of my complete 601XL slow-build kit in a couple of 

weeks. I will need to build shelving (or whatever) to hold all the parts 

while I build the airframe. I would like to know how others have stored 

complete kits, without completely filling up the garage.



How many shelves or bins, what size and shape? I have half of a 2-car 

garage to hold the storage and my 4'x12' work bench. Pictures would be 

great. Thanks for your sharing your experience.

You won't need much shelving.



I built my 12x4 bench on top of a Zenith crate, and still use the crate for storage. Another Zenith crate was turned on it's side and acts as a shelf.



A peg board holds most of my tools. A small plastic tool box on wheels holds my drill and rivet gun. 

I put a few smaller shelves up as well to hold a radio and a holder for screws/rivets.

Good luck!

Terry,



I have been working in the same situation as you: half of a two car garage. I retained the current shipping crate (I am building from component kits).  I placed it outside the garage and covered it with a large polyvinyl sheet, taped to prevent water penetration, but still accessible to retrieve parts as needed.  It worked for me.

I stored everything but sheet metal and canopy on a shelf under the work 

bench and on the floor under the bench.

Terry,



I built 633Z in a 10' x 20' tent in 7 months in 2003 from a kit.

(http://www.eaa.org/homebuilders/list/Zenith%20Zodiac%20CH%20601%20XL_Edwards.asp)



I used a 4' x 12' work table with a shelf underneath.

I put the sheet metal on the floor under the table and on the shelf.

I stored some miscellaneous parts on the shelf.



There were some 3 boxes of small parts that I left stored in the boxes.



I stowed the finished rudder, elevator and wings on the side of the tent.



When I got to the point that I could put the fuselage on the floor

I moved the work table outside.



Here's a picture of the work table:

and a picture of the plane on the floor:

see all thumbnails: http://www.cleanh2o.com/633z/index_thumbnail.html



Later ask about my 2 failed stock mufflers, failed nose gear bearings,

dirty carb stumble, brake line failure, failed starter, bad nose fork,

and the Zenith grin!



Hope to go flying tomorrow!



Cheers, Joe E
