The US has about 33,000 currently registered homebuilt aircraft. There’s a lot of them!
For some years when I was growing up, five homebuilt aircraft were built for every one traditionally manufactured general avaition aircraft.
Most of these were built from kits or from plans, but there are still crazy people who make their own designs. My absolute favorite is the impossible Facetmobile[1]

- chris_st 9y agoJust curious about your description of the Facetmobile as "impossible"... do you believe the video of it flying is faked?
- mitchty 9y agoProbably in reference to another faceted plane that basically was aerodynamically unstable, the F-117. Which was called the hopeless diamond.
