![]() ![]() ![]() Leaving this work to the homebuilder helps keep our labor to a minimum and the cost of the kits at a reasonable level. We do not do the small trimming and adjusting jobs which the average homebuilder in the average shop can do just as well as we can. The builder’s job is primarily to assemble the parts, not make them. If a part needs to be sheared, bent, rolled, pressed, hydro-formed, heat-treated or welded to be ready to use, it has already been done at the factory. The Standard kit is far more than just a “materials package.” When the kit is shipped, any work requiring mechanical equipment not readily available to the homebuilder is already done. Please visit the QuickBuild page for more information on our QuickBuild kits. If the builder has a little more to spend and wants to fly even sooner, then the QuickBuild Kit is an excellent value. Using some combination of the several time-saving options available, he or she can balance the time/money equation to suit their circumstance. The Standard Kit is perfect for the builder who enjoys the process and is working on a limited budget. The difference between the kit “styles” is the degree to which these parts have been pre-assembled when the builder receives them. ![]() Two kinds of kits are available: the Standard and the QuickBuildĪll RVs, whether built from a Standard or a QuickBuild Kit, are constructed using the same parts. This means that the fabrication work we do on the kit parts is less than 50% of the total required to complete the aircraft and that at least 51% of the work remains for the kit builder. All RV kits have been reviewed by the FAA and have been found eligible for licensing in the Experimental Amateur-Built category. The builder must provide the engine, propeller, instruments, avionics and upholstery. RV kits include all the parts needed to build a complete airframe. ![]()
