Sub-kits

A word on the winglet kit: the Winglet kit was developed as much as an introductory kit as it was an integral part of the finished aircraft. We feel that offering a winglet kit offers many benefits to the potential Velocity builder as a "first sub-kit." First off, it's a relatively low cost item - so you can get your feet wet and find out if the project is for you without fully committing yourself financially. Beyond that, the construction methods used in building the winglets are easily mastered and are indicative of many of the steps that will be used later on in building the kit. The kit was developed to be as user friendly as possible. We include a Michaels Engineering epoxy ratio pump, all of the epoxy that you will need, fiberglass, pre-hotwired winglet cores, winglet NAV antenna, coaxial cable, micro-balloons, mixing sticks, mixing cups, brushes, an instructional DVD set, Builder's Manual, and a Velocity Logo hat. The sub-kits are broken down for the XL as follows:

1. Winglet Kit: $950 
2. Canard Kit: $2900
3. Left Main Wing Kit: $6250
4. Right Main Wing Kit: $6250
5. Fuselage Kit: $24,850
   * Fuselage Kit Options:
   * Retract Landing Gear: $9000
   * Fastbuild Fuselage: $9000
   * Dash-5 Package: $3500
6. Fuel Strake Kit: $5000

Split-Kit Details: These prices do not include crating or shipping charges. Each sub-kit price is subject to change at any time. That is, as price increases effect the full kit base price, the sub-kit prices will be adjusted accordingly.
