Building the rudder Starter Kit
ZODIAC CH 640 Rudder Starter Kit

Introductory Starter Kit

If you've always dreamed of building your own airplane, but aren't sure that you have the required skills, the Rudder Starter Kit is for you. The ZODIAC CH 640 Starter Kit includes the complete kit for the rudder tail section and comes with a detailed and illustrated step-by-step assembly manual - everything you need to get started!

Developed specifically for the first-time builder, the starter kit costs just US$ 590.00, and includes everything you need to start building your own ZODIAC CH 640 kit aircraft, including:

  • Complete Rudder Tail Kit
    • Pre-Formed Ribs, Spar, etc.

Sample Rudder AssemblyBuilding your own kit aircraft is probably on of the most challenging and rewarding things you’ll ever accomplish: imagine, you’ll be flying an aircraft that you’ve built yourself! Few people get the freedom and thrills of flying… even fewer are also rewarded by flying in an airplane that they’ve built themselves. 

Assembling the rudder Starter Kit is just a weekend project, and will provide you with an excellent ‘hands-on’ introduction to building your own aircraft. Once you’ve completed the rudder kit, you’ll have the skills and tools to continue with the rest of the ZODIAC CH 640 kit - and you’ll also have part of your aircraft completed. We’ll even deduct the cost of the rudder kit off the price of the complete kit when you’re ready to continue.

Assembling the ZODIAC CH 640 kit is a simple process - even for the novice builder. Working from the pre-formed parts supplied by the factory, you simply line up the parts, drill and rivet the parts together. Since this is an all-metal aircraft, there’s no messy doping, gluing or bonding involved.

You’ll need the following to assemble the rudder kit:

  • Workshop: a sturdy 4’ x 8’ flat table.
  • Tools: Basic hand sheet-metal tools: electric hand drill, metric tape measure, ‘Cleco’ pliers and fasteners, sheet-metal snips, hand ‘pop’-type riveter with custom heads, and a few files. You won’t need a bending brake or shear, or other power tools.
