If you are building, or contemplating building the Skybolt from Steen Aero Labs, then this manual is a neccessity. It will save you literally hundreds of hours of head scratching, and will help you avoid making those typical first-time builder's mistakes that we all make at one time or another. If someone said to you 'I have something that will take hundreds of hours off your build for $35, you would snatch his hand off!'
Untold hours have been spent in authoring this epic task as a labor of love.
The Manual gives the builder hundreds of tips and guidance. It is available for download in Adobe PDF format, which is a great format for searching & printing hard copies.
The Skybolt Builder's Manual consists of the following chapters:
