    The manuals are the second most complained thing  about F12 - right after 
the poor customer service. Except to check a  dimension, I don't even read 
them anymore. My advantage is that I've put  bunches of them together so they 
must be semi-mysterious to first-time  builders. My condolences to them. 



         Writing a manual to  construct anything is a challenging proposition 
and of course there's the cost  involved. Anyone who has put LEGOs together 
knows that you CAN design an  assembly manual that a 5-year old can follow. 
Some of the best ham  ones IMO are the Cushcraft ones.
