Restoring Museum Aircraft

Takes the reader step by step through the process of aircraft restoration from the initial decision to prepare for an exhibit: Does it fit the museum's aims? How will it be displayed? Will it fly? And of course: Is it good value?
Initial preparation before disassembly are noted and then the principal techniques in working with wood-and-fabric, and metal aircraft are discussed, using many interesting real examples. Types of propulsion, tires, colors and markings are covered systematically and the different requirements for indoor or outdoor exhibition are shown.

This book is considered the authoritative reference to the wide and complex subject of aircraft preservation and restoration.

Flying on Your Own Wings - A Complete Guide to Understanding Light Airplane Design

Chris Heintz is a professional aeronautical engineer with a prolific career spanning over 40 years designing and building light aircraft. Recognized worldwide as a uniquely talented and accomplished designer, his aircraft are known and appreciated for their simplicity of construction, pilot-friendly cabins and controllability as well as remarkable performances.
Today, Chris Heintz designs are flown throughout the world, mostly by recreational pilots who have assembled their own planes from a kit. His most popular models are also factory-assembled and sold as ready-to-fly sport aircraft on three continents.

In this book, Mr. Heintz shares his knowledge and insights into the art and science of light aircraft design. He "walks" readers through the essential understanding and skills required to conceive, develop, build and even test-fly their own personal light airplane.
Basic mathematics, essential aerodynamics and stress analysis are just a few of the chapters of this fascinating book. Heintz even provides a sample design to help would-be designers take their first step towards imagining and creating their own wings.

Truly a beginner's guide to everything you need to know in order to achieve that age-old dream: To fly on your own wings!
