AIRCRAFT SPRUCE
PERSPECTIVES ON HOMEBUILDING
 

(Click image for a larger view)

Greetings,

Aircraft Spruce & Specialty has always admired, supported and encouraged people who want to build their own aircraft. Because we believe you can never say enough about the values and virtues of homebuilding, we have decided to share a variety of Perspectives on Homebuilding with any and all who enjoy reading about that subject. It’s free.

To launch the program we present the perspectives of two individuals who need no introduction: Paul and Tom Poberezny. We are honored to initiate Perspectives on Homebuilding with commentary by the two individuals who have dedicated their lives and contributed the most to the development of sport aviation.

In the future we will be sharing the perspectives of kit manufacturers, designers, and the people who are expanding the flight line with their wonderful homebuilt projects.

If you are thinking about building an aircraft, or if you’re in the middle of a project, you’ll want to be a regular monthly visitor to Aircraft Spruce & Specialties’ Perspectives on Homebuilding.

Happy Landings!

Jim Irwin, President
Aircraft Spruce & Specialty
