	Homebuilt aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the aircraft is constructed by an amateur, the finished product is often of good quality; the safety record of homebuilt aircraft is generally comparable to that of certified aircraft, once out of the testing phase that is required after construction is complete.
		Homebuilt aircraft gained in popularity in the US in the 1950s with the formation of the Experimental Aircraft Association and with a large demand for light aircraft created by ex-military pilots after World War II.
		Homebuilt aircraft are typically small, one- to four-seat sportsplanes, and employ simple methods of construction.

	Flight Testing of Homebuilt Aircraft
		Most of the homebuilts are somewhat portable due to their size, consequently the test pilot should be able to choose a suitable test facility within driving range of the permanent home of the aircraft.
		Some use certified aircraft engines, some are modifications of certified aircraft engines, some are special purpose aircraft engines not certified, some are modified automobile engines, some are modified snowmobile engines, and some are engines designed for other purposes that were bolted in an airframe in the faint hope that they would work (they seldom do).
		Homebuilt replicas of WW-I aircraft will probably have predictable flying qualities i.e., marginal or neutral stability about an axis or two, and could be almost as demanding to fly as the originals.

	Liability For Homebuilt Aircraft
		While homebuilt aircraft have been the fastest-growing segment of aviation during the 1980s and 1990s, some predict that homebuilt aircraft liability litigation will be a growth industry of the next decade.
		Avemco is the largest insurer of homebuilts with hull and liability coverage for many different types of homebuilt aircraft.
		A recurring problem in homebuilt accidents is the fact that the pilot often flies a new model aircraft with little or no specific training in that particular model.
