‘Hints for Homebuilders’ tops 1 million plays

By Janice Wood · October 12, 2009 ·

In little more than 18 months, EAA’s “Hints For Homebuilders” aircraft construction videos have  surpassed 1 million plays.

The series of more than 100 videos on aircraft construction and restoration features experienced aircraft builders, restorers and teachers doing hands-on activities that allow viewers to learn the skills and procedures to use on their own projects. The videos include all aspects of aircraft construction using a variety oftools and materials.

EAA“The ‘Hints for Homebuilders’ online series is exactly the type of information that aircraft builders and restorers demand,” said Adam Smith, EAA’s vice president of membership. “The segments supply straightforward, practical tips that can immediately be used in a person’s individual project. We look forward to adding more segments to the series in the near future.”

The entire series of videos, produced by EAA Television, is available online at EAA.org
