What is the RSA?

The French homebuilder, vintage & warbirds restorers, recreational & sport flying association.

From homebuilding ...

Homebuilding merges with the beginning of aviation.
And we still all have today the same pioneering enthusiasm.
The thousands of members of the Réseau du Sport de l'Air build, restore and put in the air a wide variety of unusual aircrafts. Starting from a small bundle of plans, a kit or a "basket case", the same passion will drive them towards an adventure open to all: FLYING his or her own machine.

From building a 20 HP single-seater to a 200 HP super cruiser, from balloons to gliders, from microlights to autogyros, or from restoring an "antique" to a powerful warbird: ANYTHING GOES!

With more than 100 new aircrafts built every year, homebuilders take a share in the renewal of the French light aircraft fleet, while the collectors devote themselves to the protection of French and world aeronautical heritage.

There are many who, by building or by restoring their aircraft, are making their dreams come true: BUILD TO FLY!

...to vintage aircraft!

Every year, a score of Fly-Ins or Air displays all over France make it possible for everyone to enjoy the meeting of machines and men, to get informed, to exchange ideas, parts and know-how's.

The annual RSA FLY-IN is the main focus of homebuilders around Europe with 700 to 1100 aircrafts on site presented over the 5 day-event.

In 2010, the RSA ANNUAL EUROPEAN FLY-IN newly named "Euro Fly-In" takes place on the superb SAINT-YAN (LFLN) airport, in the center of France. A dedicated website is at your disposal with all the information needed: www.euro-fly-in-rsa.com
