Tony
Bingelis' first and best known book on the
design and construction of the firewall
forward area of single engine aircraft.
This book includes reprints of articles
formerly appearing in EAA's Sport Aviation
magazine covering topics such as engine
selec-tion, installation, the design exhaust
systems and fuel systems, fitting cowls,
making hoses, instruments and sensor set-up
and much more. This first edition
is mostly relevent to self designers and
builders of plans built aircraft.

Sportplane
Builder is Tony's first book on airframe
construction topics. It contains many helpful,
although more generalized hints and tips
for the builder including the setting up
of a workshop, basic construction practices
and standards, and is then followed up by
a few somewhat more specific topics such
as routing control systems, working with
composites, electrical basics, etc. Like
Firewall Forward, this book is also most
relevent for self designers and first time
builders of plan-built aircraft.

Tony
Bingelis' second airframe book includes
a continuation of articles appearing in
later issues of Sport Aviation. The topics
covered are more specific and more applicable
to the more current kit planes such as RVs,
Lancairs, etc. Some topics covered include;
making fittings, molding fuel tanks and
wheel pants, hinge installation, a few nice
cockpit refinements, etc. Like his other
books, each article is an actual detailed
and illustrated set of instructions on how
to complete the specific task.

An
excellent update to Firewall Forward focusing
mainly on issues encountered when installing
Lycoming and other traditional engines in
today's established kit built craft such
as RVs, Lancairs and Glasair class projects.
On Engines details such concerns as oil
cooler placement, control linkage, wiring
decisions, baffling, magnetos, exhaust systems,
electrical power systems, fuel and vent
systems, etc... Written and illustrated
mostly using Tony's RV-6 as an example.
