RIGGING FOR YOUR ZENAIR FLOATS
Rigging components (spreader-bars, struts, fittings, etc.) are not included in the basic price of Zenair floats (kits or factory-assembled). Zenair does however keep a supply of streamlined tubing in stock (for spreader-bars and struts), as well as machined aluminum fittings for perfectly alined joints between the spreader-bars and struts.
Note: Our complete rigging kits include all spreader bars, struts, fittings and related hardware, but do not include the top fittings that actually attach to the aircraft (typically different for every aircraft design). Work with your local mechanic to fabricate custom fittings or contact the designer/manufacturer of your aircraft for this information.
