Re: VW Cylinder Head Machining

As the VW is still used extensively at the grass roots end of the LAA Fleet, it strikes me that an online respository of related information (technical and suppliers) somewhere on the LAA website would be useful. Or does such a thing exist and I just haven't found it?

Re: Designing a plane...where do I start?

There are a lot of good text books that can help you. I'd recommend starting with Dan Raymer's book "Simplified Aircraft Design for Homebuilders" and Bud Evans "Lightplane Designer's Handbook", plus the spreadsheets on the LAA Engineering pages.
