During the 1910-20 thousands of American homes were built using
Sears Roebuck kits.
Some of the most innovative aircraft designs started as do-it-yourself kits, like the kits sold by
Burt Rutan. Our first customer for the Arcadia sold his Rutan designed home-built airplane to finance his
Arcadia 3236 in Southern California. His experience in self-building something your-life-depends on, may have had something to do with it.
