I'd have to say I didn't find the builders manual very informative. I'm gleening more info off this mailing list than I did from the manual. I bought the manual and the plans, but I haven't ordered any material or started anything yet. I'm still trying to figure everything out and work up the courage to take the plunge.Jim T________________________________________________________________________________

Ted, I found the Builders Manual a good deal. There are chapters fromModern Mechanics magazine written by Bernard, also 3 chapters on covertingthe Ford A. Also chapters on building the Sky Scout- it was in this chapterI found a great step-by-step recommendation on how to put the fuselage sidesand bottom together. The last 15 pages are builders hints. In additionthere is a color photograph of Bernard, and the manual is personalized tothe purchaser and signed by Don Pietenpol. It is worth it just from thehistory it contains.Al Swanson>Can anyone who has the manual tell me how many pages are devoted to the last>couple of chapters that actually give building tips?>>I don't mind buying the book if it really has some substantial information>contained in it.>>Thanks,>>Ted>>________________________________________________________________________________
