STARTER KIT

START BUILDINGFOR JUST A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS!

Introductory Starter Kit

If you’ve always dreamed of building your own airplane, but aren’t sure that you have the required skills, Zenith Aircraft’s exclusive

Rudder Starter Kit is for you. The ZODIAC Starter Kit includes the complete kit for the rudder tail section and comes with a

detailed and illustrated step-by-step assembly manual – everything you need to get started! Since all ZODIAC models

share the same rudder tail section, you don’t even need to decide which ZODIAC model to build.

Developed specifically for the first-time builder, the starter kit costs just a few hundred dollars, and includes

everything you need to start building your own ZODIAC kit aircraft, including:

Complete Rudder Tail Kit:

– Pre-Formed Ribs, Spar, etc.

– Rivets & Hardware Needed To Assemble The Rudder.

– Detailed Rudder Assembly Manual

– Step-By-Step Assembly Instructions

– Building Tips And Hints...

Putting together the rudder Starter Kit is just a weekend project, and will provide you with an excellent ‘hands-on’ introduction to building your

own ZODIAC aircraft. Once you’ve completed the rudder kit, you’ll have the skills and tools to continue

with the rest of the ZODIAC kit – and you’ll also have part of your aircraft completed. We’ll even deduct the cost of the rudder kit off the price of the complete kit when you’re ready to continue with the project.

You’ll need the following to assemble the rudder kit:

– Workshop: a sturdy 4’ x 8’ flat table.

– Tools: Basic hand sheet-metal tools: electric hand drill, metric tape measure, ‘Cleco’ pliers and fasteners, sheet-metal snips, hand ‘pop’-type riveter with custom heads, and a few files. You won’t need a bending brake or shear, or other power tools.

The complete rudder Starter Kit can easily be shipped by UPS right to your door (in the United States). Many of the basic required hand tools can also be purchased from Zenith Aircraft Company.

Zenith Aircraft Company also holds workshops at the factory - where workshop participants build the rudder kit with the help and guidance of factory staff. The factory workshops also allow participants to tour the factory and see the company’s demo aircraft.

See www.zenithair.com for more information about attending a factory workshop.
