Saint Aviation was started by Jesse Saint, a third generation pilot and mechanic. Jesse formed Saint Aviation in 2005 as a program to help build experimental RV-10's. After several years of building RV-10's, Jesse was able to get his A&P license, then 3 years later his Inspection Authorization. Saint Aviation grew from a builder assistance program to a full maintenance facility, specializing in avionics installations in certified and experimental light aircraft. The FAA has made some changes in the STC process to increase safety, and with those changes there are many new and exciting experimental products that are being STC'ed for certified aircraft. We install Dynon, Avidyne, TruTrak, Approach Fast Stack, JPI, Appareo, UAvionix, Advanced Flight Systems, Vertical Power, Trig, and more.
“I completed an extensive panel upgrade on a Van's RV-7 with Saint Aviation. The entire process was a joy. The owner, Jesse Saint, spent several hours with me exchanging CAD drawing of the panel until the perfect application for my project was reached. We worked through multiple options considering both functionality and pricing. I found Jesse highly knowledgeable in every respect. His pricing was very fair, transparent and the most reasonable I found after considering several options. The job was completed quickly and came out perfect. I have had a few technical issues arise and Jesse was always accessible and willing to help out immediately. For RV specific issues I can tell you that no one outside of Van's knows these planes better. I recommend Saint aviation without reservation.”
“Last summer, Saint aviation had agreed to do the ADS-B upgrade(GTX-345) to my 1965 Cessna 206 along with installing a Garmin G5 and an Electronics International CGR-30P engine monitor. They also did some badly needed touch up paint for me. When I was unable to fly the plane out to X35 on the agreed upon date, Jesse was able to hook a ride to KGPM and fly the plane to his home base for me. The work was fast, professional, and several thousand dollars cheaper than several companies around here(DFW metroplex) quoted me. Those companies also had several months waiting list!! Saint Aviation did what they said they would do, when they said they would do it, and for a VERY reasonable price!! That was about 7 months, and several long trips ago!! Absolutely no problems or complaints!! Even though Saint aviation is about 900 miles from my home base it was easily worth the trip!! For major work or upgrades we will definitely be making the flight again!! Thanks again Jesse!!”
“I have had Jesse do 2 airplanes for me now, my Aztec he installed all new Avidyne avionics and a Cherokee 140 he put some old avionics that came out of my Aztec. He did a great job on both I love the Avidyne avionics. I definitely would recommend Jesse for your next avionics install. ”
“Working with Jesse and the team at Saint Aviation to build my RV-10 has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. As a first time builder the prospect of completing a RV-10 was more than I was prepared to tackle both in time and complexity. Although the cost is a bit higher than building unassisted, the cost is more than offset by the timeliness in completing the project, the savings in tool purchases, and most importantly, the peace of mind that comes with working with a very experienced team to assemble a fantastic aircraft. I learned a tremendous amount and feel very confident in my ship. I found Jesse to be more than fair to work with and with his advice and counselling to make the ship of my dreams.”
“I can highly recommend Saint Aviation. I purchased a brokered 2008 RV 10 from them. Saint Aviation were the builders of this aircraft through their build assist program and I am 100% satisfied with their services before and after the sale including post sale maintenance.”
