Description

This 2-DVD set is a step-by-step tutorial on the basics of metal aircraft construction, showing the process of building components for a typical metal light aircraft (a Zenith STOL CH-701) starting with the plan set. This is a very good and watchable tutorial for anyone considering a metal aircraft, and will be useful to nearly any homebuilder since virtually every aircraft uses sheet metal components in some way.
