ADVANCED or "Quick-Build-Kits" for the CH 640

Picture
The extensive manufacturing and aircraft assembly experience of Zenair Ltd. makes it logical for the company to offer Quick-Build Kits for the CH 640 design; we already assembles the CH 2000 production aircraft at our facilities...

The CH 640 Quick-Build kit includes the same items as the standard airframe kit: The fuselage, wings, ailerons and flaps and stabilator are assembled on the same jigs as the FAA type-certified CH2000 aircraft. Assembling the aircraft rudder and wings tip extensions must be completed by the builder (to meet the 51% rule). Builders must then just complete the final assembly of all sections.

Quick-Build kits for the Zodiac CH 640 drastically reduce kit building time and complexity; it is estimated that only about 750 hours will be required to complete a ZODIAC CH 640 airframe from the factory-supplied quick-build kit. Engine installation, instumentation and cabin finishing will be in addition and will vary depending on the level and complexity of the custom work.

"The proven all-metal construction requires only basic tools and clecos to hold sections together. The use of Avex pull-type rivets greatly reduces the challenges associated with other forms of riveting.   Chris' background as an aeronautical engineer ensures that his aircraft are solid and designed for everyday use with wear and tear kept to a minimum. Check out some of his kits with lots of flying time on them; compared to its competitors, the Zenith holds up very well. Chris is responsible for a lot of great ideas that are so logical you'll wonder why others haven't incorporated them before."

          - Aviation Quarterly

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) completed evaluation of the Zodiac CH 640 kit on May 2, 2001 and determined that the quick build kit, as evaluated, met the intent of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 21, Section 21.191(g). Note that the FAA evaluation should not be construed as meaning the kit is FAA certified, certificated or approved, it only means the kit is eligible for airworthiness certification by amateur builders.
