Could Nick Lappos (et all) please write a book?
Nick......Mr. Lappos....
How does this idea strike you?
We low timers glean a LOT from your posts, and the posts of several other regular (experienced) PPRuners like Dennis Kenyon, amongst others.
Hows about a "professional helicopter pilot's manual" co-authored by those professionals (from around the globe) voted "IN" by the prospective buyers of said text?
That is, PPRune Rotorheads could organise some kind of poll to vote for Author and Content, (even if conflicting in stance on certain issues; perspectives) Moderated by agreed rules?
I am perhaps naive in the practicalities of the publishing game, but it seems to me that the target audience would be an excellent judge of where to start and with whom to start, based on what has been freely given to us to date..
A bit like us placing a really big order in advance for some really detailed information (and a resources/ photos CD including PPRune links).
Hell; you're writing and we're reading now, for the good cause.
Why not some of you folks make some money from it?
Or if you're all doing okay then the resultant organisation may wish to assist (with any subsequent profits) that "helicopters sans frontiers" idea i saw recently, or some such positive cause..
Maybe an e-book?
or i could just shut up.......
What do you think?
