Homebuilt aircraft are more properly described by the FAA as Experimental Amateur Built. This means that they may be owned and operated with little restriction in the Experimental Category with the requirement that the major portion be built by a party or parties not for compensation. They generally fall into the category of kit built airplanes and plans built airplanes although there is some overlap. This area will list information and sites related only to aircraft that are currently available and can be built from plans without kit requirement.
