Design, build or buy your own aeroplane!

     At December 23, 2009 RA-Aus had 9207 members with voting rights and there were 2955 aircraft with valid RA-Aus registration and an estimated market value of $102 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'. New factory-built aircraft and aircraft kits, currently available in Australia and accepted for registration by RA-Aus, are listed in the 'Buyer's Guide'.
