One of the things I've decided about this project is to release the
instruction manual for free. That lets people really understand what
they're getting into before they spend the money on plan set.
This evening I finished the instructions for the end caps. This is the
last component you'll build if you're not going to be adding the
windscreen and canopy. Tomorrow I'll get more done, but for now this is
where it's at:
http://www.geneb.org/pitkit/instruction_manual.pdf
The manual is not completed yet. I'll be making a few revisions to the
text as it is now as well as adding things like a table of contents and
front pictures. The manual is far from done - I still need to show the
final assembly as well as the details on assembling the canopy &
windscreen.
Enjoy!

Now that is something that I'd never thought of. When the plan sets go on
sale, they'll be sold through a web site called Etsy, which is kind of
like eBay, but only for hand-made goods. Who knows who'll find it? :)
Thanks for the idea though - I'll have to post something over at Sawmill
Creek and see what falls out.
