A fun website for the technical types...Ed you'll like this one

This is actually some required reading for that class I'm taking. So far I am really digging the class. It's not too difficult and looking through they syllabus none of the material is going to be anything I haven't at least heard of before. Next week is Aerodynamics and Aircraft Performance...My bread and butter as a Flight Engineer

 

Some great aerodynamic lessons from the Wrights

Great Site Joey,

I started saying "I had all that in AMT college" until I got to the Wright stuff - THEN it really got my attention!

Good stuff to study for next few months when not building.

"There is always more to learn."

Thanks,

EDMO

BTW - My best design book is "Design of the Aeroplane", by Darrol Stinton, engineer and test pilot in England. He has another book, out of print, that is not useful to the homebuilder, but I have it too. The translations from English to American is fun to read too. I hope you carry a "Torch" with you in your "aeroplane", so you can check your "tyres", etc.
