[simpits-tech] F16 Gearhandle

[A.Y.]

Chris,

Knowing you r the "king" of demostrating how to make the ACE II. I really
hope you will document this into a "how to build a gear handle" :)

If you need help with laying out diagrams and information then transfering
to PDF. I can easily do that with your blessing, just give me the raw
diagrams and data to save you time away from your own project.

Cheers,

Albert
Sydney, Australia
