KRnetHeads, If you aren't a subscriber to KitPlanes magazine, you are really missing out on a great resource. It got a little cheezy over the years with respect to covering way more off the shelf kits, rather than scratch built airplanes like we are building. But when Paul Dye took over as editor, it immediately hung a hard "technical" turn, and is now jam-packed with deep, meaty articles that cover both basics and the nitty gritty of a subject, written by very knowledgeable authors.
I'm way behind in my reading, but intake systems, ignition, exhaust, riveting, metal forming...all kinds of stuff. And of course Baranaby Wainfan is still writing great stuff on drag reduction and things of particular interest to us, like elevator and rudder design, with and without horns. I'm looking forward now to Jim Weir's "how to" on making your own LED nav light system for dirt-cheap, using only two LEDs per wing tip. That's coming soon also, and it's something I'm way overdue on. No commission or kickback here...I just trying to spread the word of this great resource! -- Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com http://www.n56ml.com
