The increased popularity of EAA\u2019s weekly webinars in recent\nweeks has led to the addition of new Thursday night sessions for April and\nearly May, specifically focused on homebuilt aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The additional webinars will feature experts from kit\nmanufacturers and areas of homebuilder support. With these additions, EAA\nwebinars will take place up to three nights a week for the immediate future.\nThe EAA webinar series has seen major growth over the past six weeks and allows\nexpansion of the program that reached a record 29,000 people in the 12 months\nending February 29, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe capacity crowds we\u2019ve welcomed over the past 10 days for\nour webinars show a real desire for aviators to stay connected with the flying\ncommunity, even if they can\u2019t personally connect at their local airport or\nhangars,\u201d said Charlie Becker, EAA\u2019s director of chapters, communities, and\nhomebuilt community manager. \u201cThis added schedule of programs focusing on EAA\u2019s\nhomebuilding heritage is only possible because of the leaders and companies\nwithin that community eagerly stepping up to provide in-depth information to\nour members and other aircraft builders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
