I purchased the complete 5 set of these manuals and am very please with the material. Although it appears to be a little outdated when it comes to construction methods. For instance a couple of plans show spar attach bolts going thru the vertical plane of a 1 inch thick spar instead of across as you normally would find. And fiber gussets being used instead of plywood for rib construction. What is this fiber? The drawings are 1st class and educational though.
