“PARTS KIT”, “PRE-DRILLED KIT" & "ASSEMBLED FLOATS" : What is the difference?
|
Basic
"PARTS KITS" (BPK) |
The Basic Parts Kit includes all the parts found in the more advanced pre-drilled kit, but it does not include pre-drilled holes. With the detailed assembly manual supplied with the kit, you will need to measure, mark and drill all the holes. The aim of this kit is to provide aircraft owners with the lowest-cost floats possible. Note that to lower this basic kit price even more, things such as angles and channels are not all cut to size.

Advanced
PRE-DRILLED KIT (PDK) |
With the Pre-Drilled Kit, factory specialists pre-assemble your floats by cutting everything to size and by drilling almost all the holes. The assembled floats are then taken apart again for easy shipping and final assembly by you. On the 1450# floats, this saves about 75 hours of work per set of straight floats and 150 hours for the amphibious model.
Finishing the 1450# Pre-Drilled Kit takes proximately 50 hours for a set of straight floats (and 80 hours for the amphibious model), when assembling the floats with the provided Stainless Steel pull-type rivets (special sealed rivets supplied with the kit). When you get your kit, it will include all the parts, rivets, bolts and everything else you need to assemble the floats. For the amphibious kits, you get the wheel hubs, tires, brakes, hydraulic fittings and lines, electric or manual hydraulic pump, aluminum parts, rivets, hardware, etc. Also includes detailed assembly Auto CAD drawings and photo assembly guides with hundreds of photos. Note: the main and nose wheel systems are not pre-drilled in the kits. When you have building questions, call or email Zenair. |

Factory
ASSEMBLED FLOATS (FAF) |
When buying the Assembled Floats, Zenair finishes the floats at its factory. All rivets are installed and the floats are pressure tested for leaks. If you ordered AMPHIBIOUS floats, you will still need to install the wheels system with hydraulic lines; the main and nose wheel systems are not installed inside factory-assembled floats. With factory assembled floats, your main task will be rigging the floats to your aircraft. Floats are not painted; see HERE for more info on our rigging kits.
Please note that while our delivery time for float kits is typically 4 to 6 weeks, we regularly have a significant back-log with factory-assembled floats (FAF). It is often possible to obtain ready-to-install floats sooner by working with one of our regional distributors or specialized "Build Centers". Call for for details... |

Can you assembly your own floats? See how they go together with this new DVD from homebuilthelp.com
The "Build your Zenair FLoats" DVD is a great tool to assist you in the assembly when ordering the basic parts kit. In addition the the DVD, you get a complete set of CAD assembly drawings and photo assembly instructions with the parts kit or pre-drilled kit.
With the pre-drilled kit, the factory assembles the complete floats where all the holes are drilled. When you get the pre-drilled kit, all the parts are marked where you start riveting them immediately. No marking, no measuring. Simply line up the parts and start riveting after applying corrosion protection and sealer between the parts.
