Kit
Your kit comes complete with everything except
paint. The kit build time is typically
600 hours from start to finish. Everything has been thought
of right down to resin mixing cups, mixing sticks, applicators
and brushes. All the small parts are provided
conveniently sorted and packaged on one board for every
step.
Finish
Many composite kit manufacturers supply components "green" requiring
substantial finishing and pinhole filing. The Jabiru components
all come in white gelcoat finish thus reducing completion
times and frustration.
Fuselage
The fuselage is provided in two halves (top and bottom);
with the most significant task being the joining of these
items and the bonding of the empenage. Most of the home
builder’s work involves fitting out the aircraft
with components and supplied hardware. All locating points
are identified by factory drilled holes.
Wings
The wings are supplied complete except for the fitment
of flap and aileron attachments. They are also gelcoated.
Undercarriage
The Calypso comes standard with 6 inch wheels all around
and can handle even rough grass strips with ease.
Manual
A very detailed constructors manual, developed from Jabiru’s
own factory Quality Assurance Manual, sets out the step-by-step
procedures, checklists, engineering drawings and include
more than 100 photographs. The checklists even advise the
approximate time for each activity and what assistance
you might need for particular tasks (e.g. two people required
or have someone around to "hold this"). It is
provided on a CD-ROM.
