Flying is a lot of fun, but not everyone can afford to purchase and/or fly light aircraft. I got into flying when I saw a cheaper alternative - microlight/ultralight airplanes.
Fisher Avenger Construction Pictures CD$21.99 The Fisher Avenger Construction Pictures CD was compiled after several requests from Fisher Avenger builders for information on how to assemble this great little single seat machine. I had been taking photos of my own Avenger construction, and so I tried to organize the photos in a helpful way. I also added some articles I had written about fiberglass work, fabric covering and low cost painting. I hope that it helps to fill in the blanks when the plans are being studied. Building the Fisher Avenger was a lot of fun. I spent almost two years working in my tiny basement in the winter, and my old garage in the summer, to construct this wonderful flying machine. Neigbors driving by, and even the local police, would do a double take when they saw the Avenger airplane on my driveway. The CD is a collection of all the photographs I took during the construction process, and shows the jigs, techniques and methods I used to assemble the various parts. Several people contacted me and asked for details so I made up this CD. Note that it is not a blow by blow guide, but the photos and notes may be helpful. I also have included articles I wrote about covering the wooden structure with dacron cloth, a cheaper low cost painting method and a way to construct a fiberglass cowling. The CD contains 287 photos of various parts of the Avenger under construction, My Construction Log, Construction Notes, and three of my published articles on Making a Cowling, Wing Covering, and Low Cost Painting. If you are building a wood & fabric airplane you will probably find the CD helpful. If you are building a Fisher airplane then you will save yourself a lot of head scratching.

MW6S Airplane Construction Pictures CD $27.99 The MW6S Airplane Construction Pictures CD is packed with photos of the construction and assembly of this Mike Whittaker designed 3-axis 2-seat airplane. Many people have told me that the photos and other information on the CD are very helpful when building this airplane from scratch. As I built my MW6S two seat airplane I took hundreds of photos. This CD has them all and is invaluable to anyone building this airplane or anything similar using metal or composite construction. It should make reading the MW6S plans, and construction of the parts, much easier. The CD contains almost 1800 photos of various parts of the MW6S under construction, My Build Log, My Materials List, and three of my published articles on Making a Cowling, Wing Covering, and Low Cost Painting. Anyone building a composite ultraligtht or experimental airplane will probably find the CD useful. MW6S Airplane Construction Pictures CD $27.99 plus shipping (determined at checkout)    You can build and fly an airplane cheaply.
Keep having Fun! Please note that these CDs contain Word documents, which can be opened using Microsoft Word, Open Office, and a few other programs freely available on the Internet.
