Bob Hoover was one of the better VE Guru's we have been blessed with. Unfortunately he recently passed away and the VW community has lost a valuable asset. Over the years he has written a lot of technical info with regards to the ACVW. His sermons can bee seen here www.vwsage.com/images/vwsage/Bob%20Hoovers%20Sermons.pdfAlso GOOGLE Bob Hoover TULZ
