Information Services
The first step in building a BD-5 from an original materials kit is gathering information.
The BD-5 requires above average building and piloting skills. Because it is a high performance type aircraft it can be unforgiving if not built correctly. The complex nature of the aircraft does not lend itself to modification, and many instances have proven this. BMT information services will enable a builder to complete his BD-5 in a safe and efficient manner, while providing peace of mind to the pilot.
The BD-5 Source is a good starting place for gathering information. It is recommended that if you are considering building a BD-5 or purchasing a used BD-5 kit that you obtain a complete set of BD-MICRO NEWSLETTER reprints. The newsletters will help you to decide if that "bargain" priced, 90% complete, used BD-5 kit is truly a bargain. You may end up with a pig in the poke.
