Description

Most homebuilders would point to Tony Bingelis’ many articles and books as the single best authoritative source for good, practical information about all aspects of building a homebuilt aircraft, and this book is no exception. This book is valuable to builders of aircraft using any type of powerplant, with in-depth yet readable discussions on the proper methods of installing nearly any engine and it’s associated components — fuel systems, electrical systems, propellers, cowlings, exhaust, etc. Like all Bingelis books, it is richly illustrated with many photos and drawings, and the reader is given many examples and much practical advice on the acceptable methods of construction, as well as many examples of common problems and mistakes to avoid. This is an excellent book for all homebuilders (possibly excepting homebuilt glider builders!)
