This book will introduce the non-engineer builder or technician to the general principles and techniques used in composite aircraft construction. The assumption is made that the reader is a complete beginner with no prior knowledge of composite materials, procedures or technology.
This book discusses three general areas:
Basic theory of strong materials, structures and composites.
Practical composite materials and structures in small aircraft.
Construction techniques used by the homebuilder and by prefabricated kit manufacturers.
Read this book if you are considering building either a manufactured kit or an aircraft design from plans using any technology. Composite aircraft structures are designed differently from those using earlier technologies such as wood or metal. You will understand those differences, including the advantages of building with composites.
Used 7 on heavily oxidized Airstream. Sanded off oxidation. Presto changeo, an almost mirror-like finish. Will stick with Nuvite. Important to follow instructional video.
This is an amazing aid to my fisning. Something serious inland fishermen should have. My only regret is that I didn't have this over the last 20 years.
