James,

If you can see well enough to build an F1D, then you can build the vp hub, too. The newest NFFS symposium has an article by Dennis Tyson on building an F1D vp hub for beginners. Since the hub described is nearly identical to the vp hub that John Kagan used to great effect in the past, I would not call it a begineers' hub. And the just slightly more advanced hub Dennis also describes has all of the features and adjustments of the hubs that Ivan Treger and Brett Sandborn use, minus the carbon composite construction. Dennis' instructions are quite clear and if you need bigger print or pictures, I am sure someone will be able to come up with what you need.

As more newer fliers play around with F1D and vp hubs, I think that plans for even easier and quicker to build hubs will be available in the near future. There is no need to fear F1D because of the need to build a vp hub.
