How to build an Airplane.?
We are building a small airplane. A REAL small airplane. its not a model airplane, a real one. but it needs to be small and inexpensive. We are very new to this and we need any tips, hints, and advice. Also we would like to know of any sites that show a diagram of of how air works and airplane design. Thanks and God Bless.
there are several good books on building airplanes. check out;
http://www.amazon.com/Building-Your-Own-Airplane-Introduction/dp/0813827930/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247603476&sr=1-1

http://www.amazon.com/Kitplane-Construction-Ronald-J-Wanttaja/dp/0070681619 if you scan this page you will find a number of other books that will be helpful
the first thing you want to do is research the subject thoroughly, and decide what airplane you want to build. also decide what materials you want to make the airplane from.
then check out places like;
http://www.wicksaircraft.com/
also check out the links here for parts suppliers;
http://search.winamp.com/search/search?&query=kitplane+parts+suppliers&invocationType=tb50ffwinampab
that should get you started. in kitplane magazine you will find listings for a number of other suppliers of books and parts.
if you do decide to build your own airplane, pay close attention to detail, and dont be afraid to ask for help. you should also find a good A&P rated mechanic to help guide you along during the build. any money you pay them will pay dividends in the end.
