Hi Ernest,
Great idea to have a separate FAQ. It is certainly going to take some work to pull it together, but would save folks down the road a lot of grief. In particular is source of parts with part numbers etc.
I could not reach you site at: http://ernest.isa-geek.org/FlyRotary

Bernie, I already pulled the small amount of information that I had out of my nascent FAQ and dumped it into Bob's WIKI.
If you've never used a WIKI before, you'll be pleasantly suprised after a very short learning curve. Ever read a FAQ that was about 3yrs to old, so that about half the information was either irrelevant or just plain wrong? Or maybe the maintainer just lost interest halfway through and it is incomplete? The organic nature of a WIKI avoids that problem. Since anyone can contribute, errors can be corrected quickly and easily, new information can be added without losing the old, and (most important) one person doesn't have to toil through the work of pulling it all together.
The only real work the maintainer has to do is make timely backups. And backups are important. Even if you're running a RAID system, you'll want to make backups. So, it was an easy decision to dump my FAQ. Let's just hope that Bob makes backups.
Bob, did I mention that an ocassional backup would be a good idea?
