Starter books?
Can anyone recommend good starter books for someone wanting to build a plane
from scratch? FAA requirements, Materials, Load calculations... that sort of thing. |

I like my Tony Bengelis books which you can buy through EAA, also Burt Rutan's moldless foam construction for composite aircraft, plus Jack Lambie's book on composite aircraft, plus AC 43-13 (FAA Advisory Circular --- a right thick paperback) which you can find on the internet if you don't want to buy the paperback, and if you want to really get technical buy all the books cited by Mike Arnold in his bibliography appended to the AR-5 videotapes he sells, which are indispensable for the composite scratchbuilder. |

Not to plug a local, but Ron Wantajja's book is a realistic all-round look at homebuilding, available new and used, maybe at your local library. Lots of free info on the net too, sometimes worth what you paid for it, sometimes worth a lot more. |

Get the Bingelis series of books from the EAA. Covers everything,
