Reader Feedback:

I do electrical designs for a living and I learned a LOT from this book. If you are planning to wire your own airplane then you MUST buy this book. At $33.50 it is a wash compared to all the grief that you will save.

Besides, Bob spends a bunch of time on the AeroElectric list answering our questions and asks nothing in return. Go buy the book.

I'm in the process of building a Lancair ES and I'm about 90% done. Over the course of building I have had the experience to read a great deal of information (books, manuals, magazines etc.) on how to get the job done. I wanted to let you know that your AeroElectric Connection was an excellent document and was without question some of the best money I have spent on any of the airplane requirements. I hope that you will continue with your excellent work.

Received electronic version from Builders Books. I am pleased beyond expectation!

I really like the full spectrum treatment. The historical perspectives are excellent. Very nice reading as well as technical reference.

I've joined your list and I managed to pick up an originally packed Turbo CAD version 12 here in Germany for a rather reasonable price from Amazon. Ebay offerings in the states didn't offer an option for overseas shipping. I can't wait to get your CD and get stuck in to the electrics of my project. I've just been burning the midnight oil reading the FAQ's I downloaded from your website.

Even though I fly the electronically highly complex Airbus A319/320/321 for a living, I find that there is an enormous amount to be learned from your website. I salute you and thank you once again for the great service you are providing to the homebuilding community. You have certainly deserved your guru status when it comes to taming electrons and putting them to useful work in our homebuilt aircraft. Keep up the good work!

Why an Unbound, Loose-Leaf Book?
Two reasons:
  • Periodic updating - Unlike most books which are glued between covers and never change, the 'Connection is a dynamic work that enjoys constant updating as our collective knowledge grows. Website updating services let you revise your book to stay current with the latest edition at no extra charge. You buy the book one time.

  • Reduced shipping costs. We use priority mail, flat rate envelopes almost exclusively. A book and binder will not fit into the flat rate envelope. The cost differential for postage when the book is shipped with a binder is about the same as a binder!

P/N AECR11 11th Revision to the AeroElectric Connection
(Shipped as plastic-bagged, loose-leaf pages to reduce bulk and postage - you supply the 3-ring binder)


You purchase the book only one time. Keep your book up to date by downloading the latest upgrade. Click here for FREE upgrade from previous to latest revision.
