Ted,
The kit assembly manual information will be gleaned from the experience
gained from the build of the first production models.
That was true for the K3 and KX3 - yes it is unlike the experience with
the K2, K1 and KX1 which were not available as factory asssembled (kit
only), but they held a Field Test with a number of builders which
resulted in many changes to the assembly manual. That is not the same
as the situation today.
The kit version will available only after a substantial number of
factory assembled units have shipped. My wild guess it will be 2 to 3
months later than the ship of the first factory assembled units.

Here’s the vexing problem. The web site says there will be a kit version, but
the availability date hasn’t been set yet. The deposit options are therefore
apparently for the factory-built versions. What’s the solution for the tension
between “I want one now” and “I want to build the kit”? Just go to sleep and
wait?
