Help when you need it

Automatically see the most helpful posts.

When you're building a particular section of your aircraft, you can easily see other posts for that section which have been voted as most helpful.

Helpful relevant posts are shown automatically as you build your plane

Ask questions and get help.

The home-built airplane community is incredibly enthusiastic, helpful, and collaborative.

Ask and answer questions

Browse others' build logs for ideas, tips, and tricks.

Browse by plane section, model, manufacturer, and more.

Come across somebody else's post you think will be useful later? Add your own private sticky note for future reference. It'll be at your fingertips when building that part of the plane.

Community-driven knowledge base

Unlike traditional discussion forums where the info gets buried and becomes hard to search for, all information posted to We Build Planes is categorized by aircraft type, section, and other tags, as well as rated for helpfulness, so it's readily available to anyone who needs it, when they need it.

Amateur aircraft builders learn (and teach!) so many things, and it's often not related to specific aircraft. Find and share general-purpose tips about tooling, construction methods, workshop setup, workbenches, or anything else.
