This
video (originally sold as a DVD) is a series of videos developed to cover the entire build
process for the CH601XL/CH650 kit.
Wing Construction
demonstrates the building of the wing, flap and aileron for this
aircraft kit. The wings are an excellent place to start
building your 601XL or CH650 aircraft. A step by step approach is
taken with these video demonstrations on all aspects of building. First
time builders will have little problem following the detailed
procedures. More experienced builders can fast forward through the
material as needed. These videos will save you TIME and MONEY during the building process as
you will make fewer mistakes by watching someone else perform each task.
Our goal is to help you finish your project sooner and also allows you
to do a better job building by providing confidence in having another
builder work by your side! You can follow up the building of the
wings by starting next with the
Horizontal Tail
or Fuselage volumes.
Note: This production is not
associated or endorsed by Zenith Aircraft. It does not replace or
supersede the documentation provided with the kit. It is meant to
be an aid in building the aircraft and its methods are presented only as
a suggestion to builders.
There are differences between the 601XL and the 650
wing construction. While in many instances these videos will help you
with the 650, they were originally filmed building the 601XL version.
You should be aware and review your plans carefully to identify these
differences between the two airframes.
This video is approximately 2
hours in length and is divided into various video chapters to make
navigation and review of desired sections fast and easy.

Testimonial:
Wow ! Having viewed them, it is
difficult to imagine building without them. As a
first time builder I clearly will enter into this
project with a confidence I would not otherwise have
had.
Your production methods have produced a teaching
tool that is clear, and easy to understand... the
next best thing to having you or Gus standing next
to me. Anyone anticipating building a 601xl, would
be a fool not to take advantage of your expertise.
There is real value, here.
Well done. I anxiously await the rest of the series.
