Any indications of how long the build time might be for the 750 in kit  

form?  Has the CNC element made an appreciable difference?

Lime said above the match drilled holes are huge! Cleco it up and rivet. Ok you can check for burrs too and prime it too. I got the impression, though I didn't ask outright, that it was deburred already. They told me the time for the750 wing build vs a 701 wing, but don't recall the exact number                ( remember I'm building from plans so it does not matter to me)  but it was in the neighborhood of 1/2 the time I think.  And if you think of all the time laying out rivet lines, predrilling and clecoing and drilling to size and then finally, riveting. It really sounds reasonable.

Hi Kevin,



I'm not too familiar with the "match drilled holes" phrase.  Does that mean it is drilled to it's final size and no further drilling is required?



Thanks,

That is what I believe it to mean, due to the phrase,  cleco it together and rivet.  But like I said I was more interested in the 701 so I was not paying too close attention. But the build times, I remember made my jealous of 750 builders.

I should have asked more questions, but I'm sure all this will be on the web site soon.



Hey Mark please chime in, if I'm all wet please tell me so, good info is good. Poor info from bumbling sources like me is bad!   



PS... from the Zenith website " Internal wing assembly, using "match-hole" technology is ready to cleco together:"

Match drilled holes means that the rivet hole are CNC punched undersize. 

You have to cleco the parts together to check for proper fit.  You then 

drill (actually, reaming is better) to the final size, deburr, reassemble, 

then rivet.  Of course, you deburred the rest of the parts first and make 

sure you use proper riveting methods (ie. don't rivet from one end to the 

other).  This saves the layout and jigging of structures and adds no 

construction time.



This is the method RV's have been working with for years.
