Experimental Aircraft
Association Chapter 266
Montreal, Canada

Welcome!

This is the website for Chapter 266 of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in Montreal, Quebec, an organization devoted to the interests of recreational aviators and aircraft homebuilders.

Our chapter was founded in 1963 and has about 75 members, giving us an excellent base of experience and knowledge.

Take a look through these pages, and feel free to contact us if you have questions. If you live in the Montreal region - or if you're in town visiting - drop by one of our meetings. You don't need to be a pilot and you don't need to be building an airplane; you just need a passion for aviation.

GROUP PROJECT

At our March 27, 2008 Chapter meeting, we discussed a possible "Group Aircraft Project". A short write-up describing a potential group project appeared in our Chapter newsletter. You can see the PowerPoint slides used to present the idea. (once the presentation is open in Acrobat, right click on the first slide and select "rotate clockwise".)
