Frequently Asked Questions (and Their Answers)

• Homebuilt Aircraft FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions List)
• Jim Pratt's FAQ site . LOTS of legal and other information on homebuilts, including downloadable copies of important FAA documents.
• Amateur-Built Maintenance (an article from the EAA Government Programs Office). Learn the legalities of maintaining a homebuilt you bought instead of built.

• And the post popular question:  "Where can I find free plans for homebuilt aircraft?"
• Basic Ultralight Glider (BUG)
• The Texas Parasol.  A light aircraft constucted of aluminum tubing.  Here's a typical builder's site.
