SAAA Chapter 20 - Kyneton District

The Sport Aircraft Association of Australia Inc (SAAA) is an organisation promoting the building and flying of recreational aircraft.

Chapter 20 Kyneton District Inc is loosely based around the Kyneton area in Victoria, although we have members from as far afield as Finley, NSW and Donneybrook, WA.

This chapter of the SAAA was formed in June 2001 and now has a large and active membership.  One of its objects is to co-operate with the SAAA to further the goals of the Association. Many members of the Chapter are involved in aviation professionally, with commercial pilots, LAMEs and air traffic controllers among the members. Others are involved in aviation purely for recreation. Builders are from all walks of life, and aircraft can be built to almost any budget.

Chapter members are constructing a wide range of aircraft, including of wood, tube and fabric, composite and all-metal design.  Aircraft can be constructed from kits, plans or even the builder’s own design. A good proportion of the some 90 members have completed and are flying their aircraft. Many have built more than one aircraft!

Chapter members benefit from the expertise of other members. We have members with experience in most facets of aircraft construction.

Chapter activities centre around visits to member builders to view their project and the occasional fly-in. We have also had workshops on subjects such as riveting, wood construction and amateur built regulations. Prospective members are welcome, please contact one of the committee members for the details of upcoming activities.

The Chapter has a monthly newsletter, covering past and upcoming activities and other information of interest to members.
