EDIT: I AM TRYING TO COLLECT AS MUCH DATA ON THE DH88 AS I CAN. IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING OR KNOWS SOMEONE THAT MIGHT KNOW USEFUL INFORMATION, THAT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. I HAVE COLLECTED ENOUGH PHOTOS BUT LACK 3 VIEW DRAWINGS (ONLY HAVE 2 AND ONLY ONE OF WHICH IS GOOD) BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY I ONLY HAVE 1 DIAGRAM THAT SHOWS AN EXPLODED VIEW OF THE ARICRAFT AND DUE TO ITS SIZE ITS OF LIMITED USE. IF YOU HAVE THE PHONE NUMBER OF ITS DESIGNER THAT WOULD BE GREAT ALSO :grin:.
