Choosing Your Homebuilt : The One You'll Finish and Fly Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is good for the person just getting interested in homebuilding who has done no research at all. I'm researching my first homebuilt and I felt more knowledgeable than the author in some cases and about one particular model altogether. It does not appear he has done his homework, and his information is outdated. I have also read Ron Wanttaja'a Kitplace Construction and can strongly recommend that.
