ZODIAC CH 640 - QUICK-BUILD KIT
The Quick-Build Kit reduces the building time dramatically (to approx. 750 hours). The 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. The builder must complete the final assembly of all sections. 
     ZODIAC CH 640 Quick-Build Kit $38,995.00

ZODIAC CH 640 Component Kits
You may choose to purchase sections of the complete kit to ‘buy-as-you-build’ instead of ordering the complete airframe kit as a single package.
