This is probably a pretty tough request, but any one with CH 801 experience know which drawings have jig patterns, and or are the jigs supplied with the kit or builder fabricated?  

I just wanted to get a head start on jigs, if the components are not supplied with the kits.  

Thanks

Craig,

  

 Did you buy the whole kit, or some components? When  are you scheduled for delivery? I have completed the slats, flaps, rudder, right  wing and am finishing the left one. Fuselage kit scheduled for delivery in  2 or 3 weeks. The only jigs you need are for the slats and rudder. I'll see if I  can figure out my scanner again.

Craig,

  

 I forgot. You can find the rudder drawing if you go  to the 801 home page and click on assembly manuals. Then go to drawing 8RU02.  That is the drawing you need for the rudder cradle. They will send you a metal  pattern to cut out the curve for the slat jig you need to make. Look at the slat  drawings, "positioning of the skin" for the jig instructions. Let me know if I  can help.

As of now, I’m just signed up for the March rudder class. I haven’t placed any orders yet. I plan to build by the component sub—assembly kit. No need to scan any docs for me, I just wanted the drawing title. I downloaded all the PDFs I could from the zenith site, so if the dwg for the slat jig wasn’t in the public section that’s the only one I’ll need. Don’t need the rudder jig because I’ll be building that one at the factory. On the other hand, the jig might just be a good support for safe storage/transport of the rudder.  

Thanks for the reply. How many hours have you got invested so far? Sounds like you’re building along the same lines I plan to.

Craig,

  

 I don't keep track of hours. I do keep track of  what I did in Kitlog. My shop is behind my house, so when I work on the airplane  I am going back and forth a lot. It's to hard to keep track of actual time, plus  I don't  bother with it. I don't really care how long it takes to do a  certain part. I admire those that do. I started the rudder on 3/23/06 and  finished on 5/17/06. The rudder really only takes about 10 hours or so.  Flaperons and slats 5/27/06 through 7/23/06. Wings started on 7/31/06 and should  be done in a couple of weeks. I also built a new slat section during the wing  time. I didn't like the way 1 piece came out. I primered everything out of the  box except the outside skins.  Some of the time I worked late in the  evening, some times during the day, a few weekends. My time is pretty  random.  If you haven't  built before, there is one piece of advise I  would give you. Try to do something each day. It can be looking at the plans,  cutting something, deburring or anything else. It keeps your motivation up and  anything you do is something towards finishing the plane. Also, if you read  this list there is a lot of good information and at times it can be very  entertaining. 

  

 Good Luck'
