When I acquired my Revmaster 2100D, I called Revmaster (spoke with Joe, the owner) and asked to purchase the engine documentation. It took a while to get, but ultimately their "manual" showed up - no charge. I'll also echo Larry's comments about the support, really nice people who support their product. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I visited their operations at Hesperia airport and was very impressed with their operation and how I was treated. Up to that point, the only thing I had bought from them was a gasket set and a few parts I used when I went through the engine. As a side note, Joe did have a newer cam available for my engine that would give me 4-5 more hp. It helps to talk with him!
