• Not Too Good. 28 November, 2002
I guess the book gives a decent overview of composite construction in homebuilt aircraft. But I concur with the other reviewer that it is poorly edited (written), a little incoherent, and (this bothers me the most) contains illustrations with no text directing the reader to them. I guess you're supposed to figure out for yourself which drawing goes with the text you're currently reading. Frustrating, i tell ya.

• Recomended But Less Material Than Expected 02 July, 2006
After reading the reviews on this book and all the references to it on various home builder sites I expected to find much more about composites than what is included. This book only touches the surface of basic composite aircraft construction technique and materials. It is filled with allot of general information about various aircraft kits that are now readily available on the web. I would have liked to have seen more on how to deal with the various types of structral members, fastener joints, and basic material testing that every builder needs to understand and apply during the build.

• Ok Intro To Composite Aircraft, But Out Of Date 18 June, 2001
This 2nd Edition is copyrighted 2000 (though another section says the book is written in 1995) but much of the information is ten years out of date. The book could also benefit from a book copy editor - there are too many typos and the text does not have a good flow from idea to idea.On the other hand, for the price, this is a good basic introduction to composite aircraft construction.
