New assembly manual for Airstar Mongoose

Wednesday, 01 October 2008 14:13
A criticism of the Airstar Mongoose has been the lack of an assembly manual and even though Airstar's build service is first class, I have always wanted a manual to help with maintenance. Also if I ever decided to get a second Mongoose I would want to build it myself as I really enjoy building. Well today, they forwarded a draft copy of the manual, to me which you can download below.
