"Rich Stowell, who has been in the forefront of Emergency Maneuver Training for years, has just written a book that provides similar advice for general aviation pilots. Emergency Maneuver Training is destined to contribute significantly to general aviation safety, and I recommend it to all who want to keep their airplanes out of the scrap yard." --Barry Schiff, author, video host, airline pilot.

This has all been useful, I was thinking more of aircraft constructing techniques, and basic aerodynamics But I did not make that clear. If you list a book, could you indicate its strengths as I have found second hand books can be a little expensive these days and sometimes they can be a little away from what you are after. Thanks N... P.S. Maybe a Library could be of use to a lot of us.I would suggest a significant bond for participants would ensure that the bookswould be returned in most cases. , then, if they are not returned, the bond would cover the replacement.

Ligght Aeroplane Design and Light Aeroplane Construction by Leo Pazmany are excellent. Leo goes through the design of the PL1 in some detail and its construction in the other book.

 

L Pazmany PO Box 10051. San Diego 10. California USA.

 

Firewall Forward is another good basic book.
