Why are the Cadet kits cheaper?

The Cadet is the two-seat R44, so its kit carries fewer seats and trim pieces: $7,080 velour and $7,520 leather against $10,300 and $11,500 for the four-seat cabin, RHC list effective January 1, 2026.

Does one kit cover the Clipper float models?

Yes. Clipper I and Clipper II share the four-seat R44 cabin, so they use KI-4407-1 or KI-4407-2.

What colors can I order?

Charcoal carpet, with color specified at order placement and optional Grey or Tan per RHC.

Is the interior kit part of the overhaul kit?

No, it is a separate RHC kit and optional, but overhaul is the cheapest time to install it because the cabin is already stripped. APEX quotes them together on request.

When should you replace an R44 interior?

Two moments earn the spend. At the 2,200-hour overhaul (2,400 on the Cadet) the cabin is already open, so install labor overlaps work being done anyway.
