Homebuilt Aircraft Home Pages
These home pages are organized by aircraft type. Some are operated by the companies, others are privately operated. Inclusion in this list should not be construed as an endorsement, nor should exclusion be considered as a negative comment towards the aircraft in question. To suggest a site, email me at wanttaja@halcyon.com. Be advised I only update this site every two or three months, so it might take time for your site to appear.General-Interest Homebuilt Sites (Those not dedicated to a particular aircraft type) can be found under Homebuilts in the "General Aviation Links" section.
Aircraft can be found under either the designer/kit manufacturer name, or the name of the plane. Some sites contain massive lists of additional links to that type...instead of reproducing all the links, I indicate that the links are contained on that site. You can also find a directory of builders/owners of a particular type on the Homebuilt Homepage.
Looking for an older design that just doesn't seem available? Check out the Vintage Ultralight and Lightplane Association (VULA). They're trying to gather the rights to these old designs and make them available.
