2) Why to get it
a) The book can be read on your PC, if you prefer reading "book style" to reading a web site. It's also useful if you are commuting or traveling and have a computer and time to spend but no internet connection. You can also print the whole book or relevant sections to take with you to the flying site.
b) The subtitle to this book is "A Field Handbook". Many times when learning to fly we needed a specific bit of information but did not have ready access to the info, and so were "done for the day". For example, you start your engine, but cannot for the life of you get it to keep running: it quits before you can roll the airplane out to the runway. Would you know how to handle this??
Nothing in this hobby is more frustrating than packing up your stuff, going to fly, being stopped by a simple problem, then going home, and finding the answer in 2 minutes on the web! This book was designed to help with that problem. Print out a copy and keep it in your car or flight box.
c) With the advice in this book, you'll spend less time crashing and more time having fun!
d) You can be reading this book within minutes. No need to wait for a delivery person, or spend precious gas money to drive to a crowded bookstore.
e) And last but not least, some us still like to read on the sofa, in the bed or out in the hammock...
3) How to get it
The book is available for the low price of $9.95. This is a bargain, considering:
i) the amount of time you can save while learning to fly
ii) the convenience of the book format
iii) this book costs less than the spare parts and time spent to recover from a single typical crash!
