"Building a Pattern Airplane" book

[Earl Vincent]

Hi Jon, I did some searching and found my copy of the what I think is the
first edition of Building A Pattern Plane, copyright is 1994, It has alot of
great info that I have used over and over through the
years. I just used the smart level incidence meter I made 10 yrs ago
yesterday to check the wing on one of my planes.
I do not wish to sell this copy but you are welcome to use it as long as I
get it back in a reasonable
period of time, contact me off line with an address I can mail it to. Happy
New Year!
Earl Vincent

I can be of help, let me know.

and copyright concerns.  Almost any printed document can be turned into a
PDF nowdays with just a cheap scanner and shareware/freeware software if no
electronic copy exists and someone is so inclined.

> Assuming the docuemnt exists in some electronic format, many people are
going to "print on demand books", just printing a copy on a cheap laser
printer and using relatively cheap plastic binders.  This way you beat high
printing costs and minimum quantities.  The trick is to balance the value to
you so you get paid for all your work, and still make it inexpensive enough
that it is not worth someone's time to go around your copyright.  Frankly
though, a PDF is invaluable to some of us since we can have it with us on a
laptop, and print out sections if we need them for a project.

> Again, if I can be of help, let me know.  I'm still interested in buying
someone's extra copy if they have it, or even just borrowing a copy to read.

the publication, all copies gone, and are now working thru the
considerations of what will be required to control the distribution
electronically.
