“What makes you look to the sky and wish to be a Bird” -SG

 

A very cool solar event is coming up next week.

Do play it safe, looking directly into the sun with out proper gear will damage your eyes. For a sobering reminder here is a precautionary story:

 

 

I’ve been working with Aircraft Composite materials & construction since the early 90’s

It’s a technology, art & science where my Learning & Capability has been on an exponential path since the start. I’ve given demonstrations & talks at local EAA chapters, worked on various Composite Home built aircraft all the way up to putting the skills to use with Pratt & Whitney and NASA where I served as a composites technical focal on a high demand 2 year Nacelle technology project.

 

I Actually started a book on composites years ago but it was not until the release of my TIG welding book where I got a re-kindled interest in finishing the book. Like the TIG book this Composites book is offered in Kindle (digital) and Paperback versions and written in a to-the-point format.

 

This book is written from the perspective of someone who has the combo of: Industry Experience, Embry-Riddle BSAE, Home built Aircraft, Hands On Fabrication and true eyes open DIY Ingenuity. I Hope this can be a valuable resource for anyone working with Composite materials / structures for Aircraft, Auto & Marine applications

Found a great course / e-book for those interested in drawing cars, applies to Airplanes & boats as well. can keep it a hobby or can help lead into a career in the graphic design & Automotive industries.

Tim has a great amount of talent & lot’s can be learned from this product. Great to see this level of craftsmanship outside of a CAD system. This is one of his renderings below, truly impressive.

 

It is that time of year again, one of the largest and best air shows & aviation get together is a week away 7/24 – 7/30 in Oshkosh Wi. It’s now been a decade since I last went. but still have great memories from the event, below are some pictures below from my last time their. If you have never been to the show and have enough aviation interest to be checking out this web site I would highly recommend checking it out. official info can be found @ https://www.eaa.org/en/airventure

Commercial Unmanned Aerial Systems are already a Billion Dollar industry, get into it now!
