Dear community,



I doing my due diligence and research before my first homebuilt purchase, and a Zodiac is on the very top of my list.  I appreciate all the knowledge you all have given me through this forum.  I have a couple questions if anyone knows the answer...



1)  Do you know if the 650 will have a quickbuild kit anytime soon?  If not, would it be better to go with the XL and 650 updates? or maybe just slow build 650?



2) From what I have read, this is a very sensitive subject, but I am naive and this concerns me very much; what is the current status of the wing problems and independent researcher I have seen mentioned on this forum?  Maybe if somebody can elaborate on whats happening with that. I have searched many times on this site trying to learn what I can, but it is sporadic and tough to put all together. 



3) Would these structural issues translate to the 650?

Thank you all for the help, I look forward to working with you all as I begin my project and look forward to contributing.

There is a group that was formed specifically to discuss the subject.

Welcome,



Funny that you should ask that question. I was just about to write a post asking the question, "Was the 650 a good idea for Zenith?"



The reason I was going to ask the question is because in light of the proposed new rules replacing the old 51% rule the 650 kit doesn't fall under the pre-approval that the 601XL does. The quick-build kit for the 601XL is grandfathered in but if they were to sell a 650 quick-build kit it doesn't look like it would qualify under the new check list system. I'm not even 100% sure a slow build kit, if made like the current 601 kits are made, would qualify under the proposed checklist system.



As far as your concerns with structural issues. Glance through what has been written in this forum. (There is plenty.) But really pay attention to what people who know what they are talking about have written. (Chris Heintz, William Wynne) And as Carlos mentioned there is the ZBAG forum.
