Hi, Jeff, I would like to know where you obtained the prints/parts for the upgrade modifications. I have not started on mine, yet. I think your videos will help. Thanks!

I will pretty much have 1 wing done today and have documented every hour on video and I am in the process of uploading it to you tube but the clips can't be any longer than 10 min's so I will have well over 100 when I am finished.
here are the ones I have uploaded so far and will post as I get more finished.

I commend Jeff for making the videos available. I suspect that they will be
very useful.
However, I think that everyone should be reminded that the drawings shown
on the web site are clearly marked "DRAFT."
To me, that translates to:
"SUBJECT TO CHANGE! Do not build anything until you get the final
drawings, or be prepared to take it all apart and rebuild so that your
aircraft will comply with the final drawings."
Of course this is only essential for S-LSA's & E-AB projects that still
need their air worthiness certificates. So far I haven't seen anything from
the FAA that says already approved E-AB aircraft are required to implement
the recommendations. Strongly recommended, but not required.
I doubt it will be too long before the drawings are finalized, but only
Zenair knows for sure.

you it wasn't from Zenith. Some of the parts I had to make myself and
others are the same parts used on the airframe in other places. 
I am uploading 20 new videos tonight and will post them as soon as they
are done. They aren't the best but I hope it helps others out.

I agree with you and I have been in constant contact with Roger and if mine has to be changed so does his right? Even Roger says it is still in draft form. I won't close the wing but I have the same parts he does installed and do you really think he would install something at the factory that would have to be changed and then put it on video for us to watch?

I have no idea what Roger would or would not do.
I only know that, to me, "DRAFT" means "DRAFT."
You pays your money and you takes your chances. If your anxious to be 1st,
go for it.
I'm not in that big a hurry. I'll wait for the drawings to be "FINAL," then
I'll know that, what I build will, at least, meet the DAR's expectation.
Again, I commend you for making the videos available.

Here is a note posted by Mathieu today on his Q&A blog, "We will be issuing new drawings VERY shortly with significant changes. There will be 4 pages"

Indeed! Over on the Zenith.aero site Mathieu Heintz wrote this in his thread
on "Q&A - Safety Alert and SAIB - Zodiac XL / CH 650":
Nov 16th:
"You have already upgraded your wing? I am surprised as the drawings are on
the web as "DRAFT". We are still looking at changes as we are consulting
with outside engineers right now. I would not start the upgrade until you
have the final drawings."
And yesterday:
"Please remember that the drawings are "DRAFT" only at this time and many
parts will be updated. So please do not start making parts and riveting
things back together etc."
On the other hand Doug Dugger at QSP is upgrading his XL in public this
weekend.
