It sounds>like something I need. where do I get my hands on one?>DelYou don't NEED it.The Flying and Glider Manuals are available in an edited version from theEAA. Do yourself a favor and use them for the interesting bit ofnostalgia that they are and NOT as the definitive source of how an AirCamper should be built. I was really confused when I started on myproject because of the conflict between the F&GM and the plans. I wasfinally told by Dick Alkire (and in no uncertain terms) to bury the F&GMin a safe place and retrieve it after I finished the Piet. End ofconfusion and conflict! Bottom line:follow the plans!I've only seen one original F&GM (John Greenlee) and didn't have a chanceto look at for long but the one EAA has seems to be an adulteratedversion with pictures from the EAA archives to make it more "updated".________________________________________________________________________________

I think that they "safetly modified" some of the plans to prevent buildingthem "dangerously".I will be fun to read in this books that the prototype Aircamper was builtusing T-88
:-)They are great books but NOT pure original...If someone will redesign these planes sure they will be lighter and will flybetter but will NOT be original, like building a "Pietlancair" :-)SaludosGary Gower________________________________________________________________________________
