Popular Homebuilt Aircraft

A look at some of the most popular homebuilt aircraft on the market.

Vans RV-10 is one of the rare four-seat homebuilt kits and it’s the most popular.

Rans Aircraft has a number of two-seat designs, including this Coyote II.

Glasair Aviation has the Sportsman 2 + 2 which can be fitted with floats, tundra tires and skis.

Sonex Aircraft offers sample aluminum kits and holds workshops that focus on how to build a Sonex.

The Breezy is a scratchbuild design that is strictly a toy…but one that’s a lot of fun to fly. (Complete materials packages for the Breezy are available through Aircraft Spruce.)

The Kitfox has been a very popular design that is sold as a complete kit, with engine, and has folding wings.

The Marquart Charger was designed for open cockpit fun. It’s a scratchbuild design that will take some time to fabricate, but it’s such a joy to fly.
