Building a real Airplane in a 50-50 arrangement with his daughter, Connie, was a logical next step from model building, automobile restorations, and general mechanical interests.
He has built model airplanes all his life and has been licensed to fly since 1960.
About the Author Richard -Rege- Socash, is a retired business executive and university professor, and an avid aviation enthusiast.
This was one of them. *** There are occasionally adventures in life that turn out better than expected.
The idea came from a chance happening, but once the seed was planted, it grew straight and strong.
A healthy dose of practical wisdom: Unless you try something, you\'re forever destined to wonder, "What might have been?" *** For the authors, there was never a long considered goal of Building an Airplane and no eureka moment. *** What tipped the authors to the "moving ahead side?" Getting rid of the fear of failing: If you are afraid of striking out, don\'t go up to bat.
There\'s feelings of doubt and the idea of a challenge, and most find themselves close to the starting point even after much thought and discussion.
One starts to imagine what it would be like to carry out a project of this sort. *** When one asks, "Could I build an airplane?," many thoughts come to mind.
Rather, it\'s a retelling of experiences and things to know that are part of the whole process.
It\'s not a book on how to do it.
The Experimental Experience talks about what\'s involved and what it takes. *** Well over ten thousand Experimental airplanes (homebuilts) have been built and are flown by individuals from all walks of life.
Take a trip from the first rivet, to the first flight, and through the first five years of flying.
And finally, learn about condition inspections and routine maintenance.
Follow along through the initial flights, final checkouts, and the rewarding adventures in the air. *** In this book, the authors take the reader through the steps involved, from considerations and decisions on Building to the information gathering stages; through purchases and construction activities to the paperwork, inspections, and technicalities of making an Airplane airworthy and legal to fly.
Gathered together, in picture and text format, is a collection of ideas, experiences, and considerations relating to Building an Experimental Airplane that come under the category of "Good things to know." Learn this information ahead of time to make the work more efficient, cost effective, and enjoyable.
Every builder eventually learns much of what\'s in this book, and has his or her own set of experiences, but it sometimes can be a long and difficult process. *** Whether you are already involved in Building an airplane, seriously considering it, or just curious about what\'s involved, here\'s answers to many of the questions that come up.
