How it works

As hands-on as you want.

Some guests stay on site and run every rivet themselves. Others pop in for the milestones. Both are welcome. Either way, the plane is yours.

01

Reserve & choose

Pick the model — Murphy Radical, Elite or Moose, or a Vans RV-12 / RV-15. Put $100,000 down to lock down your plane and build window. Other Murphy and Vans models accommodated on request.

02

Design your build

Help shape your aircraft. Choose your engine — most builds run a Lycoming or Rotax, or request another. Pick your panel and controls, paint and interior, wheels, floats or skis.

03

Build with us

Travel to Arlington, WA. We provide the workshop, the tools, the expertise — and a place to stay on site if you'd like. Do as much or as little of the build as you want.

04

Fly home

On completion you pay the remaining balance and taxi out with your own airplane — one you helped build, end to end.

What's included

Everything between deposit and takeoff.

  • Murphy or Vans aircraft kit
  • Engine of your choice — Lycoming, Rotax, or request another
  • Full use of the Silver Eagle workshop and tooling
  • Guidance from experienced builders, retired Boeing engineers and veterans
  • Optional onsite lodging during the build
  • Final inspection and taxi-ready handoff
