This book is a great technical resource for homebuilt aircraft builders that includes sections on getting ready to build, construction practices, fiberglass components, control systems, aircraft interiors, canopies and windshields, landing gear, instrumentation, electrical systems, and finishing.All of Tony's books are must haves for anyone building or thinking about building their own airplane. Each is a collection of his columns from the Experimental Aircraft Association's flagship monthly magazine, EAA Sport Aviation. Tony's work covers the topics in exceptional detail, and the reader benefits not only from Tony's extensive firsthand experience as a homebuilder, but also from his time in the U.S. Air Force, and his volunteer service to EAA as a Technical Counselor.

"Still relevant 62 years after its initial publication, this legendary reference text on aircraft stress analysis is considered the best book on the subject. A knowledge of aerodynamics is a prerequisite for its discussions of basic structural theory and the application of the elementary principles of mechanics to the analysis of aircraft structures. 1950 edition"--

Based on a 15-year successful approach to teaching aircraft flight mechanics at the US Air Force Academy, this text explains the concepts and derivations of equations for aircraft flight mechanics. It covers aircraft performance, static stability, aircraft dynamics stability and feedback control.
