NEW STANDARD PARTS KITS (SPK)
|
STANDARD
PARTS KIT (SPK) |
Our new Standard Parts Kits (Straight or Amphibious) include all the pre-formed aluminum parts (bulkheads & skins), extruded keels, welded fittings, fiberglass "bumpers", rivets, sealant, bolts and everything else needed to assemble a complete basic set of floats. With the amphibious kits, you will in addition receive the retractable gear mechanisms, wheel hubs, tires, brakes, hydraulic fittings and lines, an electric (or manual) hydraulic pump, etc.
The aim of this STANDARD kit is to provide builders with the highest quality, lowest-cost set of professionally designed aluminum aircraft floats possible. This kit is not as advanced as older "Pre-Drilled" kits (costs less), but is more advanced than the traditional "Basic Parts" kit (costs a bit more). These STANDARD kits replace the older Basic and Pre-drilled kits (which are no longer available). When assembling the floats with the closed-end pull-type sealed rivets supplied with the kit, assembling a set of #1450 floats from a new "Standard Parts Kit" will take approximately 150 hours for a set of straight floats (and 50 hours more for the amphibious version). |
What's NOT included:
The tools and jigs you will need for the assembly process;
Any primer, zinc chromate or paint you may want to use;
The water rudder(s) - Can be ordered separately (see below);
The Rigging (to install the floats to the airframe) - see here for details
You can also customize the floats with your own accessories.
These might include: storage lockers, larger inspection holes, pump-out cups, cleats, etc.
Just remember: Customizations add weight, complexity, cost and constructions time...

PROFESSIONALLY ASSEMBLED ZENAIR FLOATS
For personal reasons, not all floatplane pilots are particularly keen or interested in assembling their own set of floats from a kit. That's all right as there are other ways to get your Zenair floats built: You can work with one of our regional distributors or specialized "Build Centers", or you may find a local mechanic who can assemble them for you - and maybe even help with the rigging process!

Can you assembly your own floats? See how they go together with this new DVD from homebuilthelp.com
The "Building your Zenair Floats" DVD is a great tool to assist with the jigging and assembly of a Basic Parts Kit (BPK). In addition to the DVD, you will also have the complete set of CAD assembly drawings and the numerous photo assembly instructions supplied with the kit to follow.
With a pre-drilled kit, the factory pre-assembles the floats and all the holes are drilled. When you get a pre-drilled kit, you can start riveting as soon as the holes are de-burred. No measuring, no marking... Simply line up the parts and start riveting after applying corrosion-protection and sealer between the parts.
