SUMMARY:Experimental Aviation\, Risks And Rewards
DESCRIPTION:Title: Experimental Aviation\, Risks And Rewards\n\nDescription
 :\nThis talk will cover a hacker’s perspective of building your own airc
 raft\, what I consider to be the ultimate maker/hacker project. Over 10 ye
 ars ago\, I decided to see if I could build an aircraft from a set of plan
 s. The model I chose was a 4 seat AeroCanard FG\, a somewhat controversial
  derivative of the Cozy Mark IV. The Cozy itself was also a derivative\, b
 asically a widened version of the Burt Rutan designed Long EZ. This talk w
 ill cover why someone would choose to build their own aircraft. All of the
 se topics will cover the risk as I see it as a professional who has been i
 n the information risk field his entire professional career.\n\n- I will b
 reak this talk down into the following topics.\n- FAA and the 51% rule\n- 
 Plans vs Kits\n- Composite vs riveted aluminum construction\n- Making chan
 ges to tested designs\n- Engine selection\, aviation engines vs conversion
 s\n- Avionics selection\n\nI will complete the talk with some discussion a
 round becoming a test pilot\, what you will become when you finally fly yo
 ur creation.\n\nThis event will be coordinated on the DEF CON Discord serv
 er\, in channel #av-aviation-text.\n\n=====\n\nDiscord: https://discord.co
