“PARTS KIT”, “PRE-DRILLED KIT" & "ASSEMBLED FLOATS" : What is the difference?
Basic
"PARTS KITS" (BPK) | Parts Kit does not include pre-drilled holes. With a detailed assembly manual supplied with your kit, you measure, mark and drill all the holes. Note that in order to lower the parts kit price, things such as angles and channels are not cut to size.
|
Advanced
PRE-DRILLED KIT (PDK) | With the Pre-Drilled Kit, factory specialists pre-assemble your floats by cutting everything to the exact size and by drilling almost all the holes. Floats are then taken apart 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 40 hours per set of straight and 80 hours for the amphibious model when installing the floats with a Stainless Steel pull type rivet (special sealed rivet). When you get your kit, it will include all the parts, rivets, bots 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, bolts etc. Also includes detailed assembly Auto CAD drawings and photo assembly guides with hundreds of photos. 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 | When buying the Assembled Floats, Zenair finishes the floats at its factory. All the rivets are installed and floats pressure tested for leaks. When you get your floats, you need to install the wheels system with hydraulic lines and rig the floats to your aircraft. The main and nose wheel systems are not installed inside the floats. Floats are not painted.
