Thanks Dana,
Glad it arrived and your finding it useful. Both the MC28 and the MC16/18/21 manuals were pretty much translated word for work, following exactly the manuals from Honda to provide a complete manual in English.
Still working on getting clean copies of the HRC manuals for the MC18 and 21 (HRC, SP, TT-F3) as working from what I have is not the best. If you have any access to hard copies of these manual since your in Japan, I would be interested in buying some (if you can help me out, would be more then willing so send you hard copies of these after translated for free!).
thanks
