I gotta tell ya Colin, I learned what I know about glass from the KR site. As for Mark Langford's pics and descriptions on his web site, well, you couldn't begin to put a price on good information like that. I'd go so far as to say that I hope the man decides to find time in his life to write a good book on his experiences. I'd buy it.
Woodworking has always been a side thing that I learned in my pappy's cabinet shop. As for metal, after a few tubular race car frames and countless jigging and building motorcycle frames, I think I can handle the tube fuselage on the big biplane. The fabric is something I need to investigate, and an A&P friend of mine who rebuilt and flys an old Luscombe can help with the learning of that material. But nothing I have seen meets the level of information on the KR site about construction techniques as a whole. So many good people here that no matter how hard I try, I just can't quit reading all the great stuff.
