Hi:
If you need any one to do any scematics done, I can do them. I've taken
many tech drafting classes, both High School, and College. I just helps
with my aerospace science degree. Let me know, and by the way, I'm
definently interested in getting a set. I'd rather pay 1,000 than 1600+ for
the profesionaly made. Let me know. Thanks.
