Sharing knowledge and understanding is different from closely held inventions and processes unique to individuals. In fact, the more knowledge and understanding are shared, the more their value grows. Although different teachers may have their styles and techniques for sharing information, the fundamentals are not owned by anyone. Therefore, if you would like to expand the dissemination of ideas offered on this website, feel free to reprint any published materials. Just make sure to cite the source properly and not modify the content.

If you notice any inaccuracies or discrepancies from facts or physics in any materials published on this website, please don’t hesitate to inform me. These pages are not meant to be the ultimate truth from Bob Nuckolls, but rather a collection of some of the best aircraft design, fabrication, and operating techniques available. The words found on these pages come from a variety of sources, including our readers, and we welcome comments and alternative views from anyone.
