This is a page dedicated to all the tips, hints, and good ideas that members send in. The ideas can
range from a good way to apply MonoKote to a new way to attach a tail wheel. Anything you like!
So lets hear them! Send me all your great ideas. Write-ups submitted either in an e-mail or
on
a
disk
are preferred. MS Word or PDF files for text and .jpg files for pictures. If the idea
is done the old-fashioned
way (pen and paper) let me know. I can probably work something out.
