The Koala Kit Plane

A community aircraft build project by EAA Chapter 283 that is open to all skill levels.

What is the Koala?

Building a Super Koala Together

The Super Koala is a kit airplane manufactured by Fisher Flying Products. EAA Chapter 283 has been working to build it with the hopes of selling it once finished.

This plane is classified as a Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) and will be able to hold 2 people. It is constructed using wood and fabric — a traditional building method that is accessible to builders of all experience levels.

Working on the Koala is a great way to develop real aircraft-building skills alongside fellow aviation enthusiasts.
