Composite Basics
7th edition by Andrew Marshall: Highly recommended by most composite airframe manufacturers. This manual explains the theory, working techniques, and details of various types of glass, carbon and kevlar fibers, resins, adhesives, foams, and honeycombs. Further sections include the basics of manufacturing composites and design methods are extremely relevant for those involved in aircraft self design projects. This is more than a simple "how to" manual. Instead, it contains the information necessary to give confidence to the builder or technician tasked in the design and construction of simple to complex parts for simple and complex aircraft. This book is a basic reference and source of guidance for those who are interested in specific information regarding the many materials and construction methods used in building composite parts and structures. Primary emphasis is placed on structures used in amateur built aircraft, high performance boats and race cars. Materials addressed are fibers and fabrics based on E-glass, S-glass, pan based carbon, pitch based carbon, the several Kevlars, Spectra, and even a brief coverage of Zylon. All the commonly used resins and the fiber-resin interface are also covered. The application of these materials to both solid laminates and sandwich structures is explained in subsequent chapters, with examples of actual structures in current use. available in book and eBook format print book $29.95 eBook $26.95 order from KITPLANES Bookstore www.kitplanesbooks.com/products/av072/ or call 970 726-5111
Standard Builder's ...
The Standard Aircraft Builders Log: * Documents a builder's work record per FAA requirements. * Provides a personal record of a builder's accomplishment. * Provides an expense record from start to finish * Provides documentation of a builder's source of materials and components. The builder's log is spiral bound; sturdy oil resistant leatherette cover. It provides full documentation through the completion of an aircraft project including, work performed, time spent, cost of the project, and source of materials. Space is provided on each page for progress photos which will be requested by the FAA examiners or DARs at the time of the final inspection. Here is a convenient, organized, and "official" place for every builder to maintain all of his/her building records. No more loose notes. No more lost records. This unique logbook has a place in the shop of every aircraft homebuilder. Each book provides space for logging up to 950 work days and up to 300 expense items. order from KITPLANES Bookstore www.kitplanesbooks.com/products/av389/ or call 970 726-5111
Construction of Steel ...
Construction of Tubular Steel Fuselages is written to assist the average mechanic or aircraft builder to produce a tubular steel airframe that is as good as one from the factory. The assembly methods in this manual are intended to produce a highly accurate fuselage in such a way that expansion and contraction occur symmetrically with no distortion. The techniques given including those on jigging and alignment methods will also help in rapid prototyping where a high degree of accuracy is necessary without elaborate welding jigs. This book details the entire fuselage design and construction process in a practical way for the builder (not the engineer) including consideration for loads, evaluation and placement of fittings and joints, jigging, welding and other metal working techniques, tool use, and the actual step by step construction of top and bottom halves of a steel fuselage as well as the many sub assemblies common to every tubular aircraft fuselage type from J3 replicas to high performance aerobatic aircraft. available in book and eBook format: print book $24.95 eBook $21.95 order from KITPLANES Bookstore www.kitplanesbooks.com/products/av134/ 970 726-5111
Airplane Rigging
Airplane rigging has a large influence on aircraft performance and is often the most easily changed. This manual continues on where most instructions leave off and provides answers to the many questions that arise when building or rigging an airplane. Factors driving various rigging geometries are discussed, and methods and tools of measurement are illustrated for different situations and configurations. For the homebuilder, the techniques, tools, and procedures given in this book may be used both during and after the construction process. This information is intended to supplement the kit or plans for an aircraft. This manual also discusses experimenting with the rigging of an airplane to increase performance and control in a particular phase of flight. For the pilot, this manual gives insight to the rigging factors driven by design, and provides the language to describe the behavior of the aircraft in unambiguous terms to the mechanic. available in print and eBook format: print book $24.95 eBook $21.95 order from KITPLANES Bookstore www.kitplanesbooks.com/products/av107/ 970 726-5111
