Homebuilts
Stroll through the Homebuilders area, located along Wittman Road just north of the Brown Arch, and you’ll see the passion and dedication upon which EAA was founded.
The thousands of homebuilt aircraft you see dotting the flightline differ in shape, size, and design, but carry one common trait. All are the end result of skilled, passionate craftsmen who turned their dream of building a safe, efficient airplane into a reality.
Take a peek at what it's like walking though the Homebuilts area.

Homebuilts in Review
Located just east of the Aeroplane Workshop and just west of Homebuilders Headquarters.
Homebuilts In Review are focused in on interesting homebuilt aircraft and their builders/designers. The format features the aircraft front and center and a question and answer session with the builder or designer of the aircraft. Plenty of time is available for audience Q&A.
Held daily at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.; sessions typically run 30-45 minutes.
Builders Education Center
If you dream about building your own airplane or if you have a set of plans or a kit at home, you need to visit the Builders Education Center.
Homebuilt Camping Pavilion
Homebuilt campers can relax, recharge, and socialize at the Homebuilt Camping Pavilion. Since we know homebuilt campers can only bring a limited amount of stuff, we have free morning coffee and gas grills available for cooking. You can also purchase bags of ice. Plus, our campground hosts are available to help make your camping experience enjoyable.
For more information about camping with your homebuilt aircraft, visit our Aircraft Camping page.
