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

Construction of Steel Tube Fuselages $24.95
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.

Airplane Rigging $24.95
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.

27 Years of the RV-ator $29.95
27 Years of the RVator contains the complete collection of technical articles, builder assist articles, flying techniques articles, product evaluations, and safety and maintenance notices from Vans Aircraft from 1980. Each is accurately reproduced (with photos & drawings) and organized in sequence as you build, test, and fly your RV. It is everything written on the tail sections, then the wings, fuselage, finishing, engine installation, panel, props, etc. There is a chapter on all those neat tools, safety & maintenance concerns, engine and prop selection, performance & CG issues, and on basic & sport flying techniques.

The RV-ator includes in-depth articles written by Van and Van's technical staff explaining how and why the aircraft goes together and works as it does. Use it as an approved addendum to the construction manual, or if you have yet to begin to build, use it as the best method to "get your head into the game" and learn what it is really all about to build and fly the finest kit airplane ever offered. Nothing is left out. If it was in the RV-ator, it's in here. Easy to use and at your fingertips. No more searching through stacks of torn up newsletters. Get yours today!
