Aircraft Options From Zenair
Based on customer requests, Zenair has developed a number of "Options" with which builders can customize their personal aircraft. Some of these options can be retro-fitted after the aircraft has been finished; others need to be installed during the initial construction. Make sure you understand the full ramifications of customizing your aircraft with these options - almost all add weight, cost and complexity to the building process; aircraft specifications and performances may also be affected.
