Kit planes are very dangerous to fly, and there is information to prove it. Even though kit planes are easy to obtain, there are specific rules and regulations that a person must follow. Even though there are certain guidelines to follow, there are still many accidents that end tragically due to kit planes. Flying a kit plane should require a special license, and the people building it should take a simple training course to learn how to repair minor malfunctions that may occur, and also learn how to properly fly a plane. If people were to take a course teaching these simple things, then the percentage of wrecks that occur in home-built airplanes would decrease significantly because pilots and builders would have more knowledge on the subject. Buying a kit plane and building it is something that is easier than you might expect. After ordering a kit aircraft, it comes “where the initial metal shaping is done by the manufacturer but all assembly is done by the owner” (manufacturing process). Thus, the owner can successfully complete the aircraft without having to worry about shaping and molding the sheet metal to form the body of the aircraft. Building an airplane became quite simple and, over time, Stewart McDougall documented his steps in building a kit airplane and according to him, "the equipment used during assembly was a mixture of hand tools and of some machines such as belt sanders” (process manufacturing). This proves how kit planes are always easier to build and create. Building an airplane requires a lot of man hours and labor “assembly work was about 540 man hours” (manufacturing process). Even though it seems like a lot, I... in the middle of the paper... it's some good, people seem to only want to report on the bad. This has become very evident during this research, not all kit planes have failures and there are logs of successful home built planes that have been published. Flying a home-built plane is a risk some people are willing to take. Although many safety measures have been put in place to help reduce the number of accidents, this is not always the case. As more people turn to craft aviation instead of general aviation, the number of plane accidents continues to rise. The only way to stop the rise in failures would be for the FAA or another flight training program to offer a course for future operators of home-built aircraft. This will significantly reduce the number of wrecks and fatalities and may one day even make flying home as safe as flying a general aviation aircraft..
