Homebuilders Week \u2013 Online Event Starts January 23
An online opportunity to learn about all aspects of building your own aircraft
By Charlie Becker, EAA Homebuilt Community Manager
EAA will be hosting our third annual Homebuilders Week online learning event for aircraft builders:
(www.EAA.org\/HomebuildersWeek).\u00a0It will be five straight days of educational forums covering a broad
spectrum of aircraft building topics. It will start on Monday, January 23, 2023, and run until Friday,
January 27, 2023.\u00a0The live online presentations will be open to everyone interested in building their own
aircraft.\u00a0Sessions will start at 11:30 a.m. CST and run until 8:30 p.m. CST daily.
This event is an opportunity for a new person to jump in with both feet and learn a lot about the
wonderful world of homebuilding. We will cover areas like getting started successfully and techniques
when building with sheet metal, composites, steel, and wood.\u00a0But it won’t be just for the newbie; we
are offering in-depth talks on panel planning, engine selection, FAA certification, flight testing, and
selling a homebuilt aircraft.\u00a0There will be something for every builder, whether you are just starting out,
knee deep in a project, or just received your airworthiness certificate \u2014 it is going to be a great learning
opportunity.
EAA is working with industry experts, kit manufacturers, and other subject matter experts to provide
top-notch material for builders. The sessions will be live and allow time for attendee
questions.\u00a0Recordings will be archived and available to EAA members for review.
EAA Homebuilders Week coincides with the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Experimental
Aircraft Association in 1953.\u00a0Those founding members of EAA lit the fuse on the homebuilt movement
that provides affordable access to aircraft ownership and today has spread worldwide.
EAA Homebuilders Week is possible through the generous sponsorships of Aircraft Spruce & Specialty
Co., Dynon, Scheme Designers, Inc., and Van\u2019s Aircraft, Inc.
