Customer comments on this selection.
 A great book and reference
I think that this is the definitive kit plane reference for those contemplating building the same.
The book is well written in an easy to understand style and provides a great insight into what's involved. It covers all aspects of construction and also includes a lot of honest, upfront details about the real costs involved.
I also purchased a copy of "Choosing your Homebuilt" and while this provides much of the same information it does so in a much more superficial manner compared to this book. The only advantage of Ken Armstrong's title is the flight reviews, which although useful are somewhat dated with many of the listed manufacturer's no longer in business...
Therefore if your budget allows purchase both, but if I had to choose just one it would have to be a copy of the "Kit Airplane Construction"
 Awesome!
This is a great book for anyone considering building their own airplane, it goes into great detail about every facet of building your own plane, and excellent book!
Excellent
An amazing amount of information for the homebuilder. Very well written, entertaining and up to date.
Packed with Information
This is another great addition to my library. Very informative, I really like the case studies.
Excellent introductory book
The book helped me most in the following areas:1) What is involved in kitplane construction - risks and benifits, even the benifits of purchasing a used certified aeroplane.
2) Showed me how to think in terms of aviation building with safety as a priority.
3) Covers info from the kit purchase stage to the test flight.
4) Emphasized that it is helpful to understand all forms of construction (metal, wood) no matter what kind of aeroplane you are building. The book covers composite, metal, metal monocoque, wood construction. This is a must buy for people who are wondering what it takes to build a kitplane and are undecided about whether they should build one.
