I think it was Dick and Jane.

all aluminum homebuilt?

The Tony Bingelis books (available from EAA) are standards for all
homebuilts. Then there's CAM 18, an FAA publication (almost certainly
under a new name), and if you're building an RV, Van's has some good
summary instructions.

Other sources: take a class in aluminum construction, such as a
Sportaire workshop; and make friends with the locals in the EAA,
including the Tech Counselors and Flight Advisors. Also make friends
with your local A&Ps, or AIs.

Enjoy!

Current it is AC-43.13

EAA has republished CAM 18 on occasion. Don't know if it is in print
currently. It is different than AC 43-13

For the building part, I liked the Ladislao Pazmany book "Light
aircraft construction for the amateur builder." Available at
http://www.pazmany.com and also through Aircraft Spruce.

The to best things I got out of that book we

* How to build a simple guillotine brake for leading edge radii

* How to make simple plugs and molds for fiberglass and acrylic parts

* Doing justice to compound curved acrylic transparencies is best done
by professionals

For the outfitting, I liked the Bingelis book "Firewall Forward."

Thanks, and best regards to all
