There is an updated book coming out as to when is anyones guess the single seater book will be coming out soon but I dont know any dates on that either at one point they were thinking of launching the single seater at the stoneleigh show this weekend but not heard anything for a while

My best suggestion would be to buy the existing book and i download the saturn amendments as I have heard the new book is based on the saturn plans anyway

The development of the single seater has been a long and drawn out affair being passed from one pair of hands to another as the people who inherit it drop by the way side...so untill some one manages to get it finished and presented to Haynes we'll just have to keep following the saga
