Other aircraft information:
Although a modern aircraft in concept the Aeroprakt A22 Foxbat uses a very conventional method of construction in riveted aluminium. Each kit is supplied with the fuselage, wings, tailplane, fin and all control surfaces pre-riveted.
The pictures show the airframe kit exactly as it comes out of the crate. The remaining riveting work is confined to final fitting of the floor-pan (which is already "cleco'd" in place) and securing the fin and various mounting brackets and webs to the bare fuselage monocoque. Three special holding cradles are required during this stage of the construction and we provide these on free loan. The rest of the work consists of fitting the engine and ancillaries, the control mechanisms (torque tubes, push rods, bell-cranks, etc) all of which are factory finished, anodised and ready to install. No fabrication of components is required (each component bearing surface even has a pressed in aerospace-quality rose-joint).
After installing the under-carriage and wheels the final finishing involves covering and painting, and fitting the instrument panel, etc. A A-22 Foxbat kit can be assembled in 500 hours by one person, or less with an assistant. One person can complete most of the assembly but some jobs will need an extra pair of hands. With good planning a largish domestic garage will be a big enough workshop space to complete all the sub-assemblies including covering and painting. Obviously a larger space is required for the complete assembly of the aircraft although that could be done outdoors prior to final Inspection and transport to the airfield for test flying. A folding wing option is available.

I have around 10 hours on a Foxbat and it's a great airplane. It's both fun and safe to fly.
