Try this -

112 pages and $55US - pretty pricey...

There is a reason no one has bought it. I thought about it, but came to the same conclusion you did.

If you want to spend a little money and get some good info buy Martin Kieltsch's manual. Money well spent.

Martin is a member both here and on the 350 side. MK on both sites.

Just to update anyone interested in this, the book has come down on price since I last checked (£27 inc VAT and shipping ) and as I had some ££ in the old PayPal account I bought it.

£20 all in would be a much fairer price but it is, to the relatively uneducated RD500 person like me, its a worthwhile and enjoyable read.
