Need the best set of taylorcraft manuals

[tcraft]

I have this new scanner setup that I am using with Adobe pro to produce searchable/editable .pdf files from a pallet of old Computer Manuals.

I would like to try it on the Taylorcraft manuals, to produce not just a digital version but one you can search for names or part numbers and also cut and paste into other documents. I would want to put it online here, after checking on the copyright status. Otherwise I couldn't put it HERE and instead would hope that no one would hack into my server and steal it.

The manuals I have are the same crappy ones that we have all been buying for the past 20 years. They are bad xerox copies, made on a worn out machine from crappy copies someone found in the trash behind another bad copier. The folks that sold these things must have eyesight like Mr. Magoo.

So, does anyone have a crisp original and readable manual or two they would be willing to loan be to scan?

I have very legible copies of the "Taylorcraft Owners Manual" and "Taylorcraft Service Manual".

I will be glad to help in any way I can. Let me know what I can do.

Indeed! Mr. Magoo also was responsible for editing the parts list that Skybound sends out for Shinn wheels and brakes.

Can't wait to see the results!

I got a good set of Univair manuals to scan. The drawings are ok, but not good enough to enlarge so you can see the details. The results are in the Reference section on our web site.

So if any of you have a Taylorcraft manual that's original Taylorcraft and not a copy (or copy of a copy), please let me know. I will need the original to get a good scan. with every successive copy of the document there is a loss of clarity, detail and sharpness.
