This instructional book is designed for amateur aircraft homebuilders who want to learn lightweight, high-performance composite techniques without the need for expensive tooling and facilities. While focusing on aircraft applications, the techniques can also be used by race-car and high-performance boat builders.

From the Back Cover:
This ebook provides a comprehensive guide for non-engineer homebuilders in creating lightweight and high-performance composite structures. It covers various simple techniques and materials that are readily available at most home supply stores. The book also includes detailed instructions on using flat tools and vacuum-bagging techniques, suitable for homebuilders. The 17-step self teaching course starts with basic flat open layup and progresses to closed wing sections. The core technique taught, cored skin, uses thin glass skins bonded to thick, lightweight cores to create highly efficient and stiff panels. Various methods for forming and bonding these panels are also discussed.

Topics include:
  • Basic Principles of Composites
  • Composite Materials
  • Vacuum Bagging Components
  • Handling and Cutting Foam
  • Layup Techniques
  • Flat Tool Vacuum Bagging
  • Joints and Adhesives
  • Taping and Corners
  • Forming Curves
  • Flanges and Closing
  • Load Transitions
  • Single Curve Molds
  • Molding Techniques
  • Projects and Exercises
