Hello everyone!  I have been lurking on this list for a while and finally

pulled the trigger.  I ordered my Zodiac xl rudder kit early last week and

am preparing my workshop for its arrival.  This forum seems to be teeming

with very helpful builders and information and I look forward to being an

active member once my kit gets here.  I've posted the link to my website for

building this aircraft if anyone is interested

I was also wondering if there are any XL builders in the chicagoland area?

I live in the west suburbs and was just curios.



Talk to you all soon,

Andrew Lieser

Hi Andrew,

   

  Congratulations on taking the plunge!  You will have a lot of fun starting your very own airplane that YOU BUILT!  I started my Zodiac XL about 4 months ago.  My problem hasn't  been the building time, its been the WAITING TIME for my shipments to arrive.  If you are serious about getting a good start with this and not have to wait between kits, I would suggest you order the tail section as soon as you can.  It will take at least 5 or 6 weeks for that to arrive (if not longer now - we are in the building season remember).   Just to give you some idea, I ordered my wing kits and accessories on 12-4.  Zenith is giving me a targeted ship date of the 1st or 2nd week in May.   I asked what the lead time was for the fuselage kit.  Shirley told me it was running about 14-16 weeks out now.  When my wing kit arrives, I will immediately place the order for the fuselage and  remainder of the airplane.  I want to be able to fly this plane sometime before I die of old age!!  LOL.  Just a heads up so you won't have to wait too.

   

  Hope this helps everyone else out considering ordering any kits.

   

  Regards and happy building Andrew!

Or you could try scratch building, at least the waiting time is productive.  It does take much longer though.

Hello  Andrew:

                    Welcome  to this happy band of builders. Did you consider participating in Rudder  Workshop at Zenith? It are well worth the time and you get to meet a great  group of people. Chicago to Mexico is not to bad a drive either that is unless  Mother Nature is having a snit!
