For next Meeting Details see below
Chapter 15 (Archerfield) Sports Aircraft Association of Australia is a group of aviation enthusiasts interested in building their own aircraft.
The aircraft we build fall predominantly into the Experimental category and vary across the spectrum from wood and fabric construction through to conventional riveted and even advanced composite material construction.
The SAAA has something to offer everyone with an interest in sport aviation, whether you're a builder, a pilot or just enjoy being around aircraft and fellow aviation enthusiasts.
Anyone is welcome to join us at our monthly meetings - broaden your horizons, make new friends and learn new skills.
If you're thinking about building your own aircraft, then the SAAA is your starting point. We can provide advice and technical information. We have a broad talent base in our chapter, with experienced builders across the complete range of building techniques, and Technical Councillors who can guide you through the challenges of any project and help you to build a competent safe aircraft.
(Intro by PeterK, Chap 15 president)
Chapter 15 is the home of Australia's first homebuilt jet aircraft, The JG-2.

A lot of you would know Ron and that he has built three aircraft - a Lancair (composite), an RV-6A (metal), and a Cavalier (wood) over the years and has subsequently lots of diverse building experience. We will be calling on Ron’s experience with wood this Thursday night.
