I have been researching the 601 series  for years. I have a quick

question though. I don't have a copy of the 601  plans in front of me,

however about to pick a set up.



If I were  building the Empennage for the 601 (HD/HDS) is there

material list anyone  has? Primarily I'm looking for information on how

many sheets of aluminum  would be required?



I know that I have seen a similar material list  somewhere online at

one point. I assume the list would be very close to the  XL. 

  

 Any help would be  appreciated.



Thanks, 

  

 JK

Sounds like you need to just start building instead of over thinking it. It's about $400 worth of materials I'd say to build the stabilizer, elevator, and rudder. Considering it'll take you maybe 4 months parttime, that's about $100 month. You can blow more cash going out for beer and wings once a week and a movie twice and month with the wife.

What you are looking for should be right here. http://ch601.org/builder%20resources.htm



And no he's not over thinking he was just asking  for a list of materials.



That said if you aren't experienced in this kind of thing I'd strongly suggest you go to the factory workshop. Details are at the Zenith site.

Figured maybe he was over thinking it because I did the same thing, then just decided to go for it.

Well if he is just thinking about it I applaud him. Building an aircraft is not something that should be taken lightly or without a lot of thought.

I agree, but he said he's been thinking for years. I feel like I wasted a lot of time just thinking when I should have just went ahead and did it. The questions answer themselves over time.

Welcome aboard,



The materials list at ch601.org will get you going.  I am using it as I go along as a check list.  It only took me one flight in one of these things to get me started.
