The Good 'Book'
Planning buying a copy of 'the book'. Since I'll probably be going down the IRS route, am I right in thinking that the new edition, due out soon,
now has details/spec for IRS?

According to someone who had mailed Ron Champion is has. Will be interesting to see how it's done.
Will probably halve the number of posts on this site though!
If you're keen it wouldn't hurt to have both books- I've spent awhile reading the 1st edition as it has several useful pictures and bits of info
that are missing from the 2nd book.
I wonder how accurate the cutting list will be.... who'll be the first one brave enough to try it!
Cheers,
James

Just spoke to Haynes' Customer Services about this very rumour.
She advised she hadn't heard of a third Edition, nor was there anything on her system.
Could be a ploy to sell off all the printed 2nd ed books first!!

'new' edition
Interesting stuff eh? I don't know where I saw the bumph about a new edition with IRS info, but it was on some website and very recently.
Further to this then, can anyone tell me is there any definitive source of details/info/plans for incorporating the Sierra IRS into the 'Book'
chassis?
Cheers for now

Most people (incl me) seem to be doing their own variation of Jim Dudley's Tiger Avon IRS onto RC's chassis.

I'm pretty sure there is a third edition coming as Derek Manders who posts on here helped with the new section on weather gear.
You there Derek?

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Hi guys. Thanks for your help so far.
I'm assuming most of you are working from the 'book' initially, if only to get basic dimensions/geometry/etc. James suggested I try get a hold of
the first edition as it has more info. I've had a look at Ron's site, Amazon, etc., but they've only got the 2nd edition for sale.
So . . . anybody got a copy of the first edition they'd like to sell to me - at a 'reasonable' price?
