Design, build or buy your own aircraft!
At 31 January 2012 RA-Aus had 10 008 members and there were 3414 aircraft with valid
RA-Aus registration and an estimated market value of $125 million.
The ownership of those aircraft comprises:
• those enthusiasts who designed and fabricated their own truly experimental aircraft;
• those who fully fabricated from commercially-supplied plans;
• those who partly fabricated and assembled their own aircraft from a factory-supplied kit;
• those who preferred to purchase a new certificated, factory-built aircraft
• and those many members who chose to buy a pre-owned aircraft, whether factory-built or home-built.
Pre-owned aircraft are advertised for sale in the '
Member's Market' while you can view a few home-builder projects in '
Home-builts: building your own'.
