If you can't even change your own dilithium crystals you'll never really be able to do any of your own starship maintenance.
Looks a little thin. That's the problem with Haynes. Too general. If you really want to properly maintain your starship you have to spring for the factory shop manuals.
I prefer the factory manual, but Haynes are always good for back-up.
They have one for the Titanic as well.

With the shop manual, you'd be able to do the full engine tear down and rebuild. Sounds like a fun winter project. [laugh]
Personally, I'd rather go after an used Millenium Falcon. Maybe even a salvaged one.

The Enterprise one's too general. Too many models across too many generations. You can't drop that to one book.
I'd love one with the plans for the Death Star.
i would love one for the death star too, but the engineers that haynes hired to analyze the deathstars blue print died en route on aldderan. ironic huh?

I loved that skit from Robot Chicken....
They sure do!
Get on the Haynes site and look up manual number 4086.
"SEX
16 Years Onwards
All Models, shapes, sizes and colours".
It's hilarious.

Didn't see a 4806 (no results). But, found a 4808.
Try 4086.
Nice book cover. Workshop manual type guide aimed at teenage boys I reckon!
Do they make one for 7th graders?

4086 doesn't work for me either...H4808 comes up though like it does for slowpokesan

They must have made a more pc version.
The manual I saw (and had to snap up) was quite tongue in cheek and clearly aimed at teenage boys (and their fathers). Good for the" man to man" talk. I've got girls and they find it very funny.
[laugh]
I had no idea they had these!

It really follows the workshop manual model for great humour.
Front cover says it all. It is not very pc. Probably discontinued.
