JBrannon,

I feel your pain, but is is a great plane and you are going to love it.

Chip is just entering this aspect of business, and there is so many things to do and he STILL has to go to the various events, contests, etc...

I never got a manual with mine and it's all been a no brainer really. The downside is that the production version was changed enough to make things confusing from when Eric wrote the instructions.

Chip is working on updating the manual and that will help later customers, but that doesn't help you, so if you have any questions, please feel free to call on me anytime or check with many of the others here who have theirs up and flying.

I would most certainly rather have an awesome plane and a crappy/no manual than an awesome manual and a crappy plane any day.
