Helicopter Build and Shop Notes Index
My construction log and general shop notes are kept in BLOG format. I can make a quick entry, and not have to do much formatting and then republish. Very fast. Not and much effort to keep a detailed log, sorted by date or tag.
From the list below you can select which specific topic is if interest, or the entire BLOG can be selected for viewing. Be careful with that option, though, as the size is quite large and that page may take a while to load.
