Aviation Press Comments
Here's what the aviation press says about this book:
"This book covers all the bases. The prospective homebuilder
who decides on a project after reading Choosing Your Homebuilt
will have made a well-educated decision in a highly technical arena,
not an emotional excursion into an obscure niche of aviation."
--Dave Martin, Editor, Kitplanes magazine
"Building your own plane is a journey of a thousand miles, so
you want to be sure about your first steps. Choosing Your
Homebuilt is the resource with all the answers to get you
started on the right foot and eliminate the surprises down the
road."
--Steve Werner, Editor/Publisher, Plane & Pilot magazine
"Choosing Your Homebuilt by Kenneth Armstrong is a most
comprehensive reference manual that is packed full of the kind
of information sought after by most ambitious sport aviation
enthusiasts. This book fills a void in the amateur-built aircraft
community. It should become a cherished addition to the aviation
library shelves of lightplane pilots around the world.
Congratulations to the author for a job well done."
--Bill Peppler, General Manager, Canadian Owners & Pilots Association
About the Author
The Royal Canadian Air Force introduced Ken Armstrong to piloting,
where he first served as a multi-engine instructor and then flew
operationally with 10 Tactical Air Group. Pioneering helicopter
operations and carrying VIPs such as Premier Kosygin of the USSR
and Princess Anne of the UK's Royal Family have been opposite ends
of a broad based aviation spectrum.
With more than 6500 hours of rotary wing experience, he pioneered
crop spraying with an experimental helicopter in Canada by spraying
hundreds of acres of crops in Victoria with an amateur-built
RotorWay Exec.
Armstrong is a director of the Recreational Aircraft Association
of Canada and primary regional inspector of amateur-built aircraft
for Canada's western area. He also serves as an observer for the
Aviation Safety Board, working with the CASB during accident
investigations involving experimental aircraft in the Pacific
Region.
He has also been a Cessna sales manager and chief pilot of various
aviation organizations.
Armstrong's amateur-built aircraft have included two BD-4's, a
Baby Great Lakes, a Volksplane, a Yodel D 11 and the sponsoring
of a Schoolflight Project Sonerai II LTS.
He has been published in Kitplanes, Plane & Pilot,
Canadian Aviation, In Flight, Sport Pilot,
Hot Kits & Homebuilts, Canadian General Aviation News,
and Canadian Homebuilt Aviation News.
His flying credentials include Single/Multi-Engine Land and Sea,
Instructor, Instrument, and over 150 types flown during 11,000
flight hours on three international licenses.
