Is there a future for homebuilding? The Flyer Show September 11 2025

The team try to figure out if homebuilding still has a future using data on UK kit and plans-built projects. We cover Swift Fuels’ 100-octane unleaded avgas achieving an ASTM production spec, the Eurostar/EV-97 aileron rod-end issue, the UK aviation minister reshuffle, and the first customer delivery of the Jetson ONE eVTOL to Palmer Luckey under US Part 103. Plus: what’s changing at FLYER, classic aircraft restoration as a path for builders, Sir Francis Chichester’s Gipsy Moth feats, a look back at the Swearingen SX-300, and this month’s free landing fees, webinars and fly-ins.
