What synergy air does

Synergy Air, Inc. is a privately held builder-assist facility headquartered in Oregon with a second site, Synergy Air South, in Newnan, Georgia. The company specializes exclusively in assisting amateur builders constructing Van's Aircraft RV-series kit aircraft (RV-7/8/9/10/12/14). It sells structured instruction (Fundamentals class at $300 per person; Empennage classes at $2,295-$7,495 depending on aircraft type and optional tail-cone add-ons), as well as hands-on build services covering full-build, partial-build, kit conversions, QuickBuild completion, kit inventory/prep/prime, mobile consultation, maintenance and repair, ER tanks, and interior paint. Customers are individual amateur builders who need expert guidance, tools, and workspace to achieve amateur-built FAA certification.

The core "technology" is human expertise in kit-aircraft construction, packaged into a repeatable curriculum and a one-stop service shop. Synergy Air operates as an authorized builder-assist partner for Van's Aircraft, performing kit prep and prime on kits shipped to its facilities. Marketing and customer acquisition run through the company website (synergyair.com), presence at major general-aviation events (EAA AirVenture at Oshkosh, Sun 'n Fun, and the Peach State Aerodrome Fly-In), and a curated Winners Circle showcase of customer aircraft that have earned awards at those events. Synergy Air has accumulated multiple Bronze Lindy and Outstanding Workmanship awards at EAA AirVenture, Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion honors at Sun 'n Fun, and a Stan Dzik Memorial Award at Oshkosh, serving as durable third-party validation of its craftsmen's work.

Synergy Air generates revenue entirely through professional services and training fees paid per engagement by individual builders. Pricing is transparent and tiered by aircraft type and scope of service, with deposits required for class enrollment and kit costs billed separately by Van's Aircraft. The company is independently owned with no disclosed outside funding, parent company, or public listing. Contact channels are a general inbox ([email protected]) plus phone lines for the Oregon (541-603-8175) and Georgia (678-854-6498) locations.

Broad incumbents

• Van's Aircraft: Manufacturer of the RV-series kit aircraft that Synergy Air is authorized to support. They share the same experimental-builder customer base, but Van's is the OEM upstream while Synergy is the downstream build-services provider.

Direct peers

• Sling Aircraft (The Airplane Factory): Kit aircraft manufacturer in the same LSA/experimental category as Van's. Comparable experimental-builder customer base that also requires builder-assist services, mobile tech support, and training curriculum for successful kit completion.
• Zenith Aircraft: Kit aircraft manufacturer offering the STOL CH750 and Zodiac series. Operates in the same amateur-built experimental segment and supports builder-assist networks analogous to Synergy's Van's relationship.
• Sonex Aircraft: Sub-scale kit aircraft maker serving amateur builders in the experimental aviation market. Same builder-assist / factory-support hybrid model and same amateur-built FAA certification pathway as Synergy's offering.
• Glasair Aviation: Kit manufacturer (Sportsman, GlaSTAR) targeting amateur builders, with builder-assist resources and a comparable customer demographic of enthusiasts seeking hands-on construction with professional support.
• RANS Aircraft: Kit manufacturer of light sport and experimental designs (S-6S, S-7, S-19). Operates in the same experimental-builder ecosystem where builder-assist and kit-prep services are part of the value chain.
• Just Aircraft: High-wing kit aircraft maker (SuperSTOL, Highlander) serving the same LSA/experimental builder market and supporting builders through completion, conceptually parallel to Synergy's Van's-specific build assistance.
• Kitfox Aircraft: Light-sport kit producer (Kitfox Series7) that addresses amateur builders with kit-based construction. Operates in the same experimental aviation segment where specialized builder-assist and curriculum-based services add value.

Others

• Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA): Industry association for amateur-built and recreational aviation; hosts AirVenture Oshkosh where Synergy builders win awards. Functions as the ecosystem enabler and community hub rather than a direct service competitor.
• DeltaHawk Engines: Diesel engine manufacturer for experimental aircraft and Synergy's named collaboration partner on the RV-14 featured in EAA Sport Aviation (Jan 2026). Adjacent supplier whose products are installed during Synergy-assisted builds.
