This video
(originally sold as a DVD) is a series of videos being developed to cover the entire build
process for the CH601XL or CH650 kit. FUSELAGE ONE is a great starting
place to begin your project – there are no prerequisite
assemblies that need to be completed before starting. To get started,
you only need a legal set of plans for the aircraft and at least the fuselage sub
kit from Zenith. The FUSELAGE ONE DVD takes you from the very
beginning steps to completing the rear section, the floor, and the
firewall components of the aircraft
fuselage.
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
fuselage 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 3
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.
