XT-582 Kit -- 5 Modules

XT-582 Kit AirBorne has had kit XT-582s and XT-912s available for some time now but they weren't much of a kit. Essentially the buyer got the same "kit" the dealer got. All they had to do was install the landing gear, prop, and take the wing out of short-pack and you were ready to fly. These "kits" had already been assembled at the factory and test flown so there wasn't much in the way of savings. In the radio control model world these type of kits are called ARFs or Almost Ready to Fly kits.

While the "ARFs" are still available AirBorne is now making the XT-582 available in a real kit. Very little fabricating is required -- it is mostly assembly. And it is available in five (5) independent modules or stages. So you can buy a stage at a time. Here are the kit highlights:

The full kit consists of five stages - available independently.
Kit components will be supplied at a high level of manufacture, with mainly assembly rather than manufacture required to complete the aircraft.you do not need a machine shop to build your own trike! Note: Minor welding required for exhaust system.
Buying stages will provide everything necessary to make a standard XT582 trike, including engine fitout components & instructions for purchasing the correct 582 powerplant from Rotax.
The owner has a choice of the Cruze and Merlin wings to couple with their base.
The kit is already fully modelled in solidworks 3D providing superior clarity and precision in the assembly drawings.
The stages have been designed to spread the capital outlay over time, and to allow the builder freedom to decide whether to install their own instrumentation, wiring looms and engine fitout components for the trike.
