Larry visits the Vans display at Oshkosh 2025 and gets the low-down on the latest RV-12 model. We’re wrapping up our RV-12 build project and you can see how we did it with our RV-12 build video series on our YouTube channel.

Welcome to the Greater Hartford EAA Chapter 166 website! We hope you will take a few minutes to browse around and take away a better understanding of homebuilt aircraft and the people who build and fly them. You no doubt will be impressed by the quality and attention to detail that the members apply to their craft.

If you are interested in amateur built aircraft and would like to learn what it’s all about, please attend one of our meetings. You can obtain an application to join our chapter by clicking on the “Join/Renew Online!” link. Thank you!
