Program Update:
The Two-Week-Wonder program described on this site was placed "on-hold" during the travel restrictions and local physical distancing requirements associated with the recent pandemic. When the sale of airframe kits dramatically increased in 22/23 (also due to the pandemic), all of our builder-assistant technicians transferred to parts-manufacturing and no new individual Two-Week-Wonder projects have been scheduled since. This message will be removed if/when the programs are offered again.
This website has not been taken down as it describes what can be done with a standard Zenith CH 750 airframe kit. Other "Build-Centers" may offer their own version of custom builder-assistance or of accelerated multi-week "wonders" inspired by the PlaneCrafters model. See here for one such Florida-based center.
DO NOT CONTACT PLANECRAFERS FOR BUILDER-ASSISTANCE AT THIS TIME. SEE HERE FOR A LIST OF ALTERNATIVES.

How we do it:
Plane-Crafters will provide a fully-equipped shop with everything needed to complete your aircraft. Experienced staff will take you through all the different kit assembly processes during the two weeks. You will succeed. Spend 100% of your time assembling your aircraft (no time spent trying to understand what to do next or looking for tools or parts, which can take up a large portion of the building time).
The amazing “One Week Wonder” was completed by volunteers in just seven days at AirVenture 2014 (Oshkosh). The advanced engineering of the CH designs (STOL, CRUZER or ZODIAC) and the accuracy of the pre-drilled, matched-hole parts allow assembly of the advanced kits with unparalleled ease, speed and reliability. At the Plane-Crafters hangar, professionally trained staff will guide and assist you every step of the way; at the end of the two-week program, your aircraft will be ready to taxi, equipped with a state-of-the-art glass panel from Dynon Avionics.
