MONTANA BUILT. AVIATION DRIVEN.
From the part you can’t find to the airplane you can’t wait to finish. Hands-on aviation expertise, custom solutions, and a builder’s eye for detail.
01 / WHAT WE DO
Good solutions start with understanding the airplane—and the person building it. We bring design, fabrication, and real flying experience together.
Move your experimental aircraft project forward with practical help, troubleshooting, repairs, and customization. From a specific roadblock to the next stage of your build.
Discuss your build ↗Our custom-molded RV-8 panel allows the EFIS to be centered, with radios positioned at the extreme left or right sides. Talk through your equipment and layout with someone who understands both sides of the panel.
View RV-8 panel photos ↗3D printing, laser cutting, machining, and custom part design. Bring a drawing, a problem, or an idea, and we’ll discuss the right approach.
Talk about a part ↗Experienced eyes on an experimental aircraft purchase, a technical question, or a modification. Start with the aircraft model and what you need to understand.
Get in touch ↗Aircraft repairs and rebuilds, backed by six aircraft rebuilds completed for insurance companies. Contact Noel to discuss your aircraft and repair needs.
Discuss an insurance repair ↗We use SolidWorks to design airframes and support equipment. Bring your project requirements, a concept, or a design challenge, and let’s work through a practical solution.
