I was poking around the web and came across this page announcing the death of Martin Hollmann, to cancer, on 12 Oct 2012.
Hollmann designed the composite 6-place Stallion aircraft and wrote/published many books on amateur/homebuilt composite design. No author receives universal acclaim and I know there has been some critique on this board about some of his design methods, but I think it's fair to say many find his books provide useful references in a field where there's a paucity of information for the non-professional designer.
Anyway, because he's well known among the "fibers and goo" crowd here, I wanted to pass the word along. To those who knew him, my condolences for your loss.
