The Experimental Aircraft Association is bringing back Homebuilders Week, a week-long online webinar series slated for Jan. 24-28, 2022.
“More than 16,000 people participated in this year’s first Homebuilders Week, far exceeding our expectations and making it an easy decision to bring the series back in 2022,” said Charlie Becker, EAA’s director of chapters and homebuilt community manager. “We’ve taken the input received from presenters and participants to improve our goal of sharing information and knowledge when it comes to constructing a safe and fun aircraft.”
EAA Homebuilders Week virtual presentations are free to everyone interested in building an aircraft. The event is sponsored by Aircraft Spruce & Specialty, Dynon, Scheme Designers, Van’s Aircraft, and Zenith Aircraft.
The daily live presentations will begin at 11:30 a.m. Central Time each day (Monday through Friday) and continue until 8:15 p.m.
Presentations will include everything from getting started to techniques when building with sheet metal, composites, steel, and wood.
New and experienced builders will also find in-depth talks on panel planning, wiring, engine selection, FAA certification, and flight testing, EAA officials said.
The live sessions will also allow plenty of time for attendee questions, officials added.
Recordings will be archived and available to EAA members for review after the week’s presentations are completed.
