Publication Library

Welcome to my Homebuilt Aircraft web site, where I maintain an electronic pictorial logbook of my aircraft construction for later inspection by the FAA. I am currently, mainly working on my 1929 designed Pietenpol aircraft (plans built). The main reason for these logs is to provide documentation to meet the FAA's 51% rule. From the time of the Wright Brothers, the CAA and now FAA, have allowed citizens to build and fly aircraft for "experimental and educational" purpose as long as they build 51% of the aircraft. This rule remains in place to this day, and maintaining a log is key.

A few pictures of the current status of my Pietenpol project:
