All-
Building seems to be a love/hate relationship with the kit provider. From builders of other kits who looked at my project, I can conclude that the construction information provided by Zenith is perhaps a little better than the rest. Kit quality is another story.
Zenith response in my case has been apathetic, if not flat out pathetic. Let's see if this e-mail gets through on the list. It will, sent to individual listers regardless.
1. Two weeks into my project I found that I'd wasted 4 standard L angles due to conflicting instuructions. Never got a response.
2. The nose skins of my outboard wings wouldn't line up as supplied by the factory. Totally tore everything apart and built replacements from plans and everything worked. Turned out my spar was drilled wrong. No response from Zenith.
3. Pointed out to Nick that the dimensions for the ailerons didn't work. Built my own to correctly calculated dimensions and sent the result to Nick. Response was, "Hmm". No follow up.
4. Center wing spar was incorrectly drilled. Sent question to Mark from CANZAC who agreed with my fix.Three weeks later, got a response from Mexico saying it was OK.
I've been locked out of a number of services on the Zenith website for years, despite continued assurances I was still connected.
Still am.
