  • The 'UK Youth Build-A-Plane' Project
    TThhee ‘‘UUKK YYoouutthh BBuuiilldd--aa--PPllaannee’’ PPrroojjeecctt The ‘UK Youth Build-a-Plane’ Project is one of a number of educational initiatives developed by the Youth & Education Support Strut. The programme aims to develop practical aviation skills and knowledge in an audience of young people from all over the UK, with the help of the local PFA groups. THE PAST The ‘UK Youth Build a Plane Project’ was developed from an idea by Captain Stewart Luck, a professional airline pilot and a member of the Executive Committee of the Popular Flying Association (now the Light Aircraft Association, LAA), the representative body responsible in the United Kingdom for amateur aircraft construction, recreational and sport flying. The project was designed for young people from 11 to 18 years old to become involved practically in the 'Centennial of Powered Flight' in 2003 by building a RANS S6 kit aircraft. This was built in sections, by young people at Lisburn in Northern Ireland, Mold in Wales, Perth in Scotland and Manchester in England under the qualified supervision of LAA (formerly PFA) engineering inspectors as part of this nationwide community project. To ensure the success of this potential logistical nightmare, the UK Distributor of the RANS S6 aircraft, Gordon McDill of Sports Air UK Ltd, divided the aircraft kit into 4 parts and issued a step-by-step project construction manual per build team, before shipping them to the respective teams, under the tutelage and supervision of their leaders and local PFA Inspectors. Of course getting the continued focus of the young people was a challenge – with schoolwork, exams and family commitments – but they proved themselves worthy of the project.
