Building Paradox
Booklet
Don Elliott has put together
a really helpful booklet explaining the process of
building a Paradox. It can be donwloaded for
immediate use in PDF format. The booklet contains
many useful tips, illustrations and diagrams,
including a selection of suggested tools for
various processes. Although this booklet is not
absolutely necessary to build Paradox, I highly
recommend it.
To obtain your copy for
$14.00 email Don at: DonElliott@Localnet.com . Aternatively write to him
at:
Don Elliott,
711 Wisconsin Ave,
Box 202,
Tomah,
Wisconsin, 54660,
USA.
Don't forget to supply your
address and $14.00. It'll be money well
spent!

Alastair's Paradox Web
Site
Until now, Alastair Law has
been the only Brit to build a Paradox. He has made
an comprehensive web site with many pictures and
notes showing how he created "Little Jim". The site
has a section containing logs of his cruises in the
Poole area between Portland Bill and Bembridge on
the Isle of Wight. http://www.as4jg.freeuk.com/little_jim/little_jim.htm
