A kit plane is an aircraft that is sold in parts, allowing builders to assemble it themselves. These planes come with detailed instructions and all necessary components, making them accessible to hobbyists and aviation enthusiasts. Kit planes can vary in size, design, and complexity, catering to different skill levels. Many builders choose kit planes for the satisfaction of constructing their own aircraft and the potential cost savings compared to buying a ready-made plane. Popular types include experimental aircraft and light sport aircraft, which are often used for recreational flying and personal transportation.
