Hi all-Newbie here-Just finished the empennage for my 9A and anxiously awaiting delivery of my QB wings and fuselage from Tony Partain. I've ordered 'lectric Bob's manual to learn about electrical system. I'm also interested in purchasing some type of primer on traditional aviation engines. I'll probably end up with a 320 in my 9A. Would appreciate any recommendations regarding a good starter text to learn more about aircraft engines.

Hi avi8tor,
This link to Lyc's homepage is a start anyway.

On www.advancedpilot.com they are selling some reprints on some introductory texts. Don't let the age of the books fool you, they are very good.

Tony Bingelis' books on engines and his "Firewall Forward" are highly recommended. EAA even publishes them for that reason. Hope this helps.

You can take the Online version of the Advanced Pilot Seminar without having to travel. It is a very thorough course on engine management and understanding how to save money and time on maintenance.

This is a pretty complete aircraft engine (traditional... ...) text book that is full of data and facts.....

I agree with Gil. The Sky Ranch Engineering Manual is hard to beat.
I've been working on Lycomings for over 30 years and I still refer to ti often.
