Great idea....I'd buy one.

I have the Helms manual but I learn better from another C5 guy who has done the work and has some tricks/tips/pics to offer.

I would be more interested in something digital with the option to print it out. Distribution and production would be cheaper, you could manage it yourself and it would be almost all profit. I'd rather pay $5 for a PDF with the ability to print if i want/need to than purchasing a book.

The other advantage to the digital version is you could update it with additional How-tos.

You could also talk to the forum owners. It would be a great incentive for people to become premium and you have a pretty large customer base to start with.

I would prefer a web site with the ability to print out the specific task I was going to do. That way, I could create my own book as I do things that are relevant to me.
BTW, videos would be great as I am a read, see, do person.

I prefer manuals to computers, but either way I'd be interested.
