'Kit Airplane Construction' by Ronald J. Wanttaja
...Featuring new and classic kitplane designs, this bestseller shows you how to choose, build and fly a homebuilt aeroplane.
Kitplane magazine calls this book "required reading for anyone thinking about building an aeroplane".
More than a 'how-to' 'Kit Airplane Construction' is also a 'why-to'. In this unbiased look at every aspect of the kitplane process, award winning aviation writer Ron Wanttaja covers everything from cost comparisons with certified used aircraft to drilling all those holes for the rivets.
Expert, easy to understand instructions help you construct your chosed kitplane type: tubing and fabric, wood, traditional sheet metal, or leading-edge composites.
Case studies confer the benefit of others experiences in purchasing and building a variety of kitplanes. You'll find state-of-the-art kitplane designs; high-quality illustrations; current prices and costs associated with shipping kits; expanded information on financing options; highlights of the auto-engine debate and quality control features to add confidence to workmanship.
Pictures, diagrams and illustrations throughout.
