A couple of things that occurred to me while reading it...

1. Minor English criticism - in several places, you use the word "building" as a
noun to describe things people have made.  Typically that word is only used to
describe an edifice such as a house, office, shop, etc. not just any combination
of parts.  I would probably substitute "construction" or "creation" or something
like that instead.


Thank you - I'keep this thread in my bookmarks and I'll fix that in the next
release

2. In the SNIR section, why not add a bit about how you can achieve a 1:8 ratio
angle using hinges, as done by LEGO in the Sopwith Camel airplane?  Also, how
about the 3:4:5 and 5:12:13 Pythagorean triangles?

Yes, the SNIR chapter needs an improvment with advanced use of hinges parts.
More ideas or resources ?

Thanks,

Didier
