Chapter project

The Koala kit plane

A two-seat Light Sport aircraft we're building together — one Thursday night at a time.

What is the Koala?

The Super Koala is a kit airplane manufactured by Fisher Flying Products. EAA Chapter 283 has been building it with the hope of selling it once finished. Classified as a Light Sport Aircraft, it seats two people.

We spend most Thursdays meeting to work on the project, and we hope to have it finished in the near future.

Anyone interested in helping with the work going into the Koala is welcome — join the chapter and contact us for more information. We look forward to hearing from you!
