According to website, they have kit version.
What do you mean that it is not available?

Look at the Atec Zephyr. www.AtecAviation.com
It looks exactly like a Katana but the performance figures are much better
and the endurance and fuel consumption are great.
It is not available yet as a kit, only as a completed aircraft, but should
qualify for the proposed LSA. The first 3 to be imported to the US are
almost ready for delivery.

Hi All,

I've scoured the web and magazines looking for a kitplane (that's
available in the U.S.) that has the flying characteristics, AND
cockpit visibility equal to or better than the Diamond DA-20 C1. For
those of you that may not know, the C1 is equipped with a fuel
injected 125 hp conti. The characteristics are low fuel burn, 135kt
cruise, gentle mush/stall at 37 kts with flaps, and VERY fun to fly.

Anyone?

Kits are not available yet in the US as they have not been approved under
the 51% rule.
Also the factory is not to keen on selling kits as they have a PERFECT
safety record
with over 115 sold world wide because all have been factory built, to date,
where they
can maintain quality control.
