The aircraft are not available factory-assembled from Zenith Aircraft Co.  If you do not have the time to build your own airplane, we suggest you purchase a new factory-built Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) or used (assembled) aircraft, or use professional builder assistance to speed up your kit project.
