This is "A Personal Weedhopper Manual." A book about dealing with the special world of the Weedhopper Ultralight Airplane.

You will find it very useful. The book is packed with explanatory pictures, diagrams, and drawings, to explain building and maintenance details.
In Vince's words:
My experience in building and flying the Weedhopper spans, over 12 years. I wrote a "A Personal Weedhopper Manual," first, to mostly help myself refer to all the many details of correct construction and safe operation. It is a compendium of that information gleaned over a long period of time from my flying, maintaining, and building the plane. Later, I tried to make it a little more presentable, realizing new pilots would truly benefit from the information. *Motor mount details, construction, bolt torques, Locktite use, etc. *All about the Weedhopper wing, ribs, aerodynamics, assembly, rudder, wing ribs, and mechanical nitty-gritty! *How to inspect a used airframe for corrosion, with intent to restore it safely, sail cleaning. *How to paint and prepare aluminum tubing and parts to accept paint.
