Review of Advanced Composite Techniques by Zeke Smith by Paul M. Booth (Central Victoria, Australia)  5 Stars
December 19, 2008
Excellent coverage of all relevant techniques for composite homebuilt aircraft. also applicable to boats, sports-cars, etc. Essential pre-build reading.
Arrived very quickly in 'as new' condition, VERY happy!

Excellent book that teaches application and gives solid how-to example by Jeffrey Lauper Smith (Provo, UT) 5 Stars
January 27, 2006
I've been using Zeke Smith's composites book for several months and it's taught me everything I wanted to know about how to build a kitplane. In addition, in my work as a mechanical engineer, I was assigned as part of a team to design a new delivery van that weighs 50% less than current models. I've relied heavily on this book and the composite techniques it uses to create mock-ups and prototypes to reach our team objective. As soon as I have some free time, I'm going to design my own composite plane (Daniel Raymer's book "Simplified Aircraft for Homebuilders" is EXCELLENT for this I might add) and I'll use techniques mostly from Zeke Smith's book in addition to some other things I've learned.
