Advanced Quick-Build Kits (QBK) from QSP
Our Quick-Build Kits are designed to cut down assembly time of a standard airframe kit (above) by half. We order the standard kit from Zenith Aircraft and begin assembly at our Cloverdale facilities; your QBK is ready when all the basic airframe components are assembled: elevator, wings, fuselage, etc. Starting with a QBK, you will still install the systems (controls, fuel, electrics, etc.), the engine and FWF package, the instruments and cabin interior. Only the paint, final fit and finish then remain. You can do these things on your own at home, or with builder-assistance with us at QSP.
Note: Our standard ready-to-fly Builder-Assistance program begins with airframe kits at the QBK level.

Component Kits from Zenith Aircraft
Zenith Aircraft Company is one of the few manufacturers that also sells its airframe kits as sub-component kits. This avoids the one-time lump payment for a complete kit for those that want to spread their project over a longer period of time. You can therefore order and assemble the tail section of your aircraft first, and only order the wings kit, fuselage kit, etc. when you are ready to start on these elements... Talk to us about your needs and we may be able to ship your sub-kit along with another order, thereby reducing crating and shipping costs for you!
