Testing Homebuilt Aircraft
by Vaughan Askue
This book offers an excellent introduction into the flight testing of homebuilt
aircraft. Not only does it go into the "how" of flight testing but the
"why." It focuses on the homebuilder who wants to do his or her own
flight testing. The author lays out a systematic approach to flight testing which
minimizes risk to the pilot while opening the aircraft's flight envelope. |
