Common Obstacles to

Building Your Plane

Don't have space?

We have lots of room for your plane at our build center.

Don't have time?

We’ll keep your project moving even when you’re not at our facility.

Not sure you have the skillset to build a plane?

We’ll teach you everything you need to know. We have the expertise and equipment to make building your dream fun and easy. When you’re finished, you’ll be amazed at all you learned and understand how to take care of your plane.

Don't want to spend three to five years building?

We can help you get you flying in a matter of months.

Don't want to build alone?

Come and experience building with our team. We always have a great time. And there is a great community of fellow aviators at our airport who will want to watch (with envy) your plane come together. It will be fun.

Feature Selection

Choose Your Dream Panel

Choosing your panel is one of the best parts of building a custom plane. We will work with you and a panel builder to design the avionics and other systems you've always wished you could have in your plane.

Pick Your Paint

Choosing colors and a scheme is another fun part of building your plane. We offer flexibility when it comes to the paint job. Looking for quality, affordability, and a finished plane at the end of the build? We can paint your plane right at our facility. Do you have a paint shop near you that you want to work with, or want to paint it yourself? We can deliver a completed but unpainted plane. The bottom line: we offer options, and you don't need to choose right away.

Builder Assistance Pricing

At Custom Aircraft Builders, our Builder Assistance Program price is a flat fee depending on the model and type of kit you want to build. Our flat-fee pricing means you will know upfront what your build will cost and will have peace of mind that there won’t be big cost increases after the project has begun.

During the building process, there are some consumables and other parts that may be required that are not part of the kit. For these types of items or any options you purchase through us, we have a predetermined fixed markup so you will know that the price we pass along is always fair.
