Building Your Own Airplane

If there's anything more exciting than flying an airplane, it's building your own and then flying it! Building Your Own Airplane describes the complete process, from selecting an aircraft design to flight testing your creation. This overview consolidates information previously unavailable or scattered throughout aviation literature. It also features facts and advice gleaned from real-life experience of the author; a section on the history and background of homebuilt aircraft; clear descriptions and directions for getting started, including advice on the skills and tools needed for the various types of construction and criteria for picking the right project; ninety-seven photographs and drawings; and appendixes of sources for materials, parts, supplies, and tools as well as United States and Canadian regulations and rules regarding homebuilt aircraft.

The technical aspects of actual construction are not covered. The psychological aspects of bringing the project to a successful conclusion, however, are described in detail, since this area causes most builders considerable difficulty. Walter also explains the documentation and testing required to complete the process.

Readers of this book will possess the basic knowledge of what the whole amateur-built process entails. They will understand the costs in terms of time and money and the rewards in terms of satisfaction with the finished product.
