On the subject of manuals and selecting the 360 kit to build...

My experience has not been as Dick fears.  Marv stated it about perfectly.  In
my case I'm exactly like Dick - an engineer and a pilot.  I had no prior
building experience of any sort, I'm not 'handy', but I can think.  This, the
will, and a network (such as this) makes building the 360 easily within your
grasp.  To Tom's point about the manual, sure there are holes but so what?
You
fill them in yourself or call the factory.  Which you do (and when) depends on
which kind of engineer you are - electrical or mechanical.  Consider phone
calls
to the factory an extension of the manual and I think you have a very thorough
assistance package.  Have the Lancair factory inspect your project at the end
and test fly it for you and they'll catch any killer items you may have missed
(hopefully).  Just in case you missed a key revision page.

Welcome Dick, c'mon in and join our club.

Regards,
Ed.
