Zenair Float Kit Prices
NEW STANDARD PARTS KITS (SPK) - WHEN AVAILABLE (See NOTICE below*)
|
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). A few parts (extruded keel and aluminum angles) may still require cutting or trimming in some cases. 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" should 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...
(Using classic solid rivets instead of the recommended blind rivets can double the assembly time!)

*NOTICE:
Zenair is presently transferring most of its Canadian manufacturing capabilities to Zenith Aircraft in MO USA.
As a result, AFM is not accepting new orders for Zenair float kits until the move has been completed.
An announcement will be posted here once production of the float kits has resumed.
We regret any inconvenience caused by this situation and thank you for your understanding.

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!

This keel material (6061-T6) may be purchased separately for repairs, replacements or special projects. It is sold "straight" to facilitate shipping (but can also be custom-curved to match your Zenair floats - call for details). Inside angle is 130 deg./Max. length is 9 feet.

Designed tough, light and priced right!
Can you assembly your own floats? See how they go together with this new DVD from homebuilthelp.com Although based on Zenair's older, less-advanced Basic Parts Kits (BPK), the "Building your Zenair Floats" DVD by US-based HomebuiltHELP.com is still a great tool to assist with the jigging and the assembly of newer Standard Parts Kits (SPK).
When assembling from a new Standard pre-drilled kit, you'll be able to skip all the marking and drilling that was required with the Basic Parts Kit (BPK) illustrated in this DVD... I many cases, you'll be able to simply use the predrilled skins in the new kits as templates for drilling, with virtually no measuring or marking of individual holes necessary... The DVD also offers more guidance regarding the application of corrosion-protection and the provided 3M sealer between the parts.
