What planned adventure in life can top that of building your own airplane from scratch; -- using just raw materials, common tools and a set of plans? It requires a builder with special skills, knowledge, and an attitude complete with persistence and imagination. Not all of us are cut out for a project like this; although most of us can appreciate the rewards that will result! The purpose of this video presentation is to expose you to the world of building a metal plane from plans, demonstrated by one of the most considerate pair of builders you will find anywhere. You will witness the type of skills, materials, tools and commitment that is required to accomplish this feat. These two gentlemen, Mark Townsend and David Barth (owners of Can-Zac Aviation Ltd the Canadian distributor for Zenith Aircraft Company) donated their time and expertise in making this video so that we could share their passion for this hobby.

Entertaining and a bit long winded but the pace did allow the info to be thoroughly digested. The details given for the metal forming process would allow someone to build the airframe for that full size Spitfire replica that they were thinking about.
If you are contemplating building a metal aircraft or just interested in fabricating complex sheet metal parts (aircraft or automotive), this is the DVD for you. Both instructors are genuine professionals who take the time to show the viewer how to accomplish very sophisticated work with a surprisingly limited amount of simple tools. The instructions are straight forward, clear, and complete enough, that both the beginner and the seasoned metal worker will come away with a lot of " tips and tricks" of the sheet metal trade. You can't go wrong with this video.
Also: Order both DVDs at the same time.
This video is horrible, it put me sleep, it only shows how to make the ribs for the wings and tail, If this is what you are looking for then rent it, If not do not rent this, save your money and take your wife to a movie.
