I wish your books had been available when I started electric modeling in 2003. Your excellent power systems guides have filled in many gaps in my knowledge.
Peter Whittle, Canada.

I am part way through reading the second of your guides and I have to write and tell you its as good as the first one. I honestly never felt I would understand electrics, yet you make it seem so easy even for an older modeller like me.
