EAA
Sheet Metal Building Basics
EAA’s continuing “how-to” series of educational
materials for building your own aircraft now includes, Sheet
Metal Building Basics, written by longtime builder and
SportAir instructor Jack Dueck. Jack is a sheet metal
construction expert and serves on the EAA Homebuilt Council,
the EAA Canadian Council, and is an EAA Technical Counselor
for his home Chapter 1410 in High River, Alberta, Canada.
Joe Norris, EAA homebuilders community manager, commented,
“We are making a long-term effort to revitalize our core
building materials for our members. This book and our
recently released sheet metal DVD are just the first
examples of this plan.” Sheet Metal Building Basics covers
the fundamentals that everyone starting a sheet metal
project should know, plus some advanced material on stress
and fatigue.
“I see a gap between the
dreamer - making the initial decision to build - and the
confident builder working along on his aircraft project,”
said the author. “This book is my effort to help bridge
that gap for that novice builder.” Also included is plenty
of solid info that steps beyond the “how-to” basics into
the “why-to” of the task. “I’m sure even experienced
builders will find this book well worth the money,” said
Norris."
"I have read your
book since I bought it at AirVenture, and I wanted to tell
you that I think it's terrific! It is probably the best
single reference on sheet metal construction techniques for
the homebuilder. The video is likewise extremely well
done." - Robert Erdos, Chief Test Pilot, Flight
Research Laboratory, National Research Council of Canada.
