THE KIT

       

The SeaRey is offered as a complete kit, including everything you need to finish the airframe, except for finish color paint. Many engine options are offered to suit personal taste and requirements.

It is not necessary to obtain the engine at the same time as the airframe. You may wish to supply your own (however, the engine and installation must be one approved by Progressive Aerodyne for the SeaRey), or if you haven't made up your mind which engine you prefer, you can wait to order until construction of your airframe kit is nearing completion.

Neither plans nor "mini-kits" are available.

You are provided with aircraft-quality aluminum and steel parts, AN hardware and components, and fabric. All parts necessary to build your SeaRey are included, up to the primer-coat paint. You need to provide only the finish color paint, allowing for your personal touch.

SEAREY FEATURES

The hull is composed of strong, lightweight, reinforced fiberglass. It comes in three parts - hull, nose deck and turtle deck. The fiberglass work has been done for you, so you only have to rivet these pieces together. The fiberglass components are white gel coated, so they don't need to be painted. However, if you prefer, you can custom paint them. An instrument panel is molded into the deck. Carbon graphite hull, nose deck and turtle deck are optionally available, and provide the same strength with lighter weight. Carbon graphite parts must be painted.

The wings are fabricated in the standard tube-andladder type construction with a C-cell leading edge. The wing spars are made of strong aircraft-grade tubing and the pre-formed wing ribs are riveted to the spars. The slightly drooped fiberglass wing tips enhance overall performance.

The ailerons, flaps and elevators are controlled by using push-pull and torsion tubes. A lever located just above the pilot's and passenger's shoulder actuates the mechanical flaps. The ailerons are counterbalanced. The rudder is cable-controlled. Electric trim is standard. Electric flaps are optional.

The wings and all flying surfaces are covered using conventional aircraft fabric coverings and finishes. The Stits covering and finish is the standard covering method.
