So for three years I quietly wrote a design column for Sport Pilot Mag here in Australia. I didn't really publicize it on this site as it was basically "Aircraft Design for the Uninitiated" and I figured if you hung out on this forum it was probably pitched a bit below your level (I deliberately avoided math, for starters). Of late I've had a few people suggest that I should stick these articles up online so they are more widely available and I have finally relented and made a start. It was easiest to put them up in a blog format, I've posted the first three here:

I'll add more as I get the time if there's interest (from memory there's about 30 in total).

Cheers

Dave
