Hello to all homebuilders!
To be brief, I am planning to build an airplane and I am strongly
considering the Zenith Zodiac XL. It suits my purposes nicely, and I
could fly it under the Sport Pilot rules if the need arises (i.e., in case
someday I need to make use of the driver's license medical provision). I
currently own a Cherokee 180, which I plan to keep (until the money runs
out!).
Within the next few weeks, I plan to make a trip to the Zenith factory for
a demonstration flight.
Can anyone out there supply me with an opinion, or advice, regarding
Zenith or the Zodiac XL?
Thanks in advance!
JK,
I'm building a 601XL you can see my progress at my website

The biggest advise I can give is go to the factory fly the plane and build
the rudder at the workshop. It'll cost you $3?? plus travel and well worth
the money. If after you build the rudder you decide the plane isn't for you
you'll have a conversation starter to hang on the wall.
