This is part 1 in a series of videos showing how we built the Affordaplane ultralight (A-Plane) from plans. In this part, we show how to create the workspace needed for drafting the large, actual size sketch of the fuselage frame.

Hi , I am a 15 year old boy , who will start to build his own affordaplane in a month. Bought the plans and tools just waiting for the aluminium to come . Thank you for this series , this will be very helpful. Wish me luck :)

My husband called and said there was a video with a guy that was meticulous explaining building an airplane. He thought I would be interested. After watching, boy was he right! I’m pumped to get started on this! Thank you!!

Just want to say thanks for all that you do for the home builders it’s great to have someone like you to teach us how it’s done.

The wood ibeams is a great idea. They are very stiff and straight. I would put some cross bracing or blocking to help prevent twisting

I built my table much the same way. I could not get the I-joists last July during the covid craze and could not get 16’ glulams, but they had 28’ so then cut them in half and the 14’ supports the two sheets of plywood pretty well. I used hardwood plywood to get a better work surface. The saw horses are quick, but I wanted storage under my bench for the large parts so I made a frame of wood with two shelves. Has worked great thus far. Other than the lack of storage shelves, your design is certainly quick and effective.

I've built plenty of things with wood but you really simplified the table for me.

Need to add (1) Feline to my materials list. Keep up the great work. Fantastic series and one that will inspire many.

Going to watch the series to see if building is something I can engage in since I love the design

Great video; very informative , I have been looking to build my first plane, and this plane may just be the right one for the first project. Thanks

What a really great idea for the workbench. It's really difficult to understand just how tough it is to get a long table completely straight - until you try to build one for yourself. Nice tip!

@user-rq3dp6wt3k

Thank you

This technique would be incredibly helpful for Zenith builders. I built a few “EAA Benches” that I made 8’ instead of 5’. I wish I had seen this before...
