malfunctions that may occur, and to also learn how to fly a plane correctly. If people were required to go through a class teaching these simple things, then the percentage of wrecks that happen in home built aircrafts will greatly reduce because pilots and builders will have more knowledge on the subject. Purchasing a kit plane and building it is something that is easier than a person would expect. After one orders a kit plane, it comes “Where initial shaping of the metal is done by the manufacturer
