Finished the rudder assemblies at the January 2026 Zenith workshop class, held at the Zenith Aircraft kit airplane factory in Mexico, Missouri.
Builder Workshops at the factory: If you’ve always dreamed of building your own airplane but aren’t sure you have the required skills, Zenith Aircraft Company offers hands-on factory workshops designed to get you started with confidence. Held at the Zenith factory and led by experienced staff, these informal workshops let you learn by doing—often beginning work on your own Zenith Aircraft kit. Small group sizes ensure plenty of one-on-one guidance, making each workshop productive, educational, and fun. Zenith also offers several "off-site" workshops.
Come ready to roll up your sleeves and experience what it’s really like to build your own kit airplane. No prior experience, special skills, or tools are required. Zenith Aircraft’s factory workshops are relaxed, hands-on sessions where you’ll work with real kit parts, drawings, and manuals, using basic sheet-metal tools—guided every step of the way by the Zenith team.
It also makes a great getaway for you and your spouse. Spend a couple of days at the Zenith Aircraft factory, connect with fellow aviation enthusiasts, and gain valuable building skills together. And when available, demo flights in Zenith factory aircraft can be scheduled during the workshop.
These hands-on workshops are designed to take the mystery out of aircraft building and replace it with real experience and confidence. You don’t need any prior knowledge, special tools, or technical background—just curiosity and a willingness to learn.
Held at the Zenith Aircraft factory, the workshops put you right in the middle of where the airplanes are designed and produced. You’ll work with actual Zenith kit parts, drawings, and manuals, using the same simple tools builders use at home. With small class sizes and direct guidance from the Zenith staff, you learn by doing, not just watching. By the end of the workshop, you’ll understand the construction methods, materials, and time commitment involved in building your own airplane—and you’ll know whether it’s right for you.
Beyond the technical side, the workshops are also a great way to connect with the Zenith community. You’ll meet fellow aviation enthusiasts, future builders, and current owners who share the same passion for flying. Many attendees come with a spouse or partner, making it a fun and educational getaway as well as a learning experience.
And of course, there’s nothing like seeing and flying the airplanes you’re learning about. Demo flights in Zenith factory aircraft are offered during the workshop, giving you a true feel for how these airplanes perform in the air.
If building your own airplane has ever been a dream, a Zenith workshop is the best first step to making it real.
