"Building a Pattern Airplane" book

[Terry Brox]

I hereby grant permission to download anything on our website. ;-))
     I would be happy to do whatever I can, but with todays internet I am 
not sure the cost of printing a book would be as viable as just taking it 
off the net. Let me know what I can do.
     Next week I hope, with Joe Dunnaways help, to have the stab and rudder 
"how to" online.
     Is anyone interested on how I cut my cores? Let me know, and thanks for 
the kind words. Terry
