"A very worthwhile publication, not only for the designer and builder of the aircraft but for anyone flying the great variety of amateur built aircraft." –Paul Poberezny; Experimental Aircraft Association

"An excellent book on all phases of flight and performance testing. Highly recommended." Vans Aircraft

Now that it's built, how well will it fly? Flight Testing Homebuilt Aircraft, tells how to test such aircraft systematically and safely, with professional results. It defines flight testing as a four-phase step-by-step process of learning the limitations of an aircraft; defining and eliminating aircraft problems, and determining aircraft capability and optimum flying techniques - all with minimum risk to pilot and machine. From your final system tests, taxi testing, the first flight, and through exploring its stall/spin characteristics, the book teaches pilots to use this time tested process to conduct safe test flights customized to specific aircraft in specific testing environments.

Specifically it will help you:
  • Develop a usable envelope as safely and efficiently as possible.
  • Define your aircraft's limitations.
  • Identify and fix the problems that often crop up in even well-proven designs.
  • Learn the characteristics of your airplane so you can get the most out of it.
  • Become a more precise and knowledgeable pilot.

Even if you bring in a more experienced pilot to make the first couple of flights, this book will help you to work with them to agree on the best way to develop your aircraft.
