Gary:

I have both Askue's book and the AC. I used them both, as well as a few 
others, to generate the test flight program I used for experimentals as well 
as for engine-change STC projects. Both are excellent and compliment each 
other. Lots of good tech data and insight in Askue. 

The version of the AC I have was more targeted at the fixed-gear, 
low-wing-loading homebuilt of yesteryear, and gave suggestions which I think 
increased the risk in complex, high-wing-loading aircraft. Had a long 
discussion with the author several years ago, and he said the next edition 
would rectify those problems. 

You are the final judge.

Don is the best.
