Below you will find a few of the aircraft built and/or owned by our members and past members. There are hundreds of different kits, plans and patterns available to anyone wanting to build their own aircraft. 

Just Aircraft Highlander
Builder/Owner: Dan Oldridge
Started: 2011
Completed: 2014
As a retired firefighter, I wanted something to reflect my life and decided to paint and stripe my plane like a fire truck. The Highlander is a very capable short takeoff and landing plane (STOL) designed to handle the rugged back country strips and off airport landings. I just finished building a set of amphibious floats for even more outdoor adventures and included a photo below.

Hi-Max
Builder/Owner: Mike Thorp
Started: ?
Completed: ?
This is an excellent example of a basic single place homebuilt on a budget. Mike built this plane two decades ago and has flown it for many hours on both wheels and floats, but has recently converted it to a folding wing design.

Powered by a Rotax 912 ULS with an IVO Medium Propeller, Lee's Searey has almost 900 hours of both water and terra firma landings. This is a great plane for anyone looking for a seaplane that also operates well off of paved and grass airstrips.
