I was going to create gear wells and landing gear for it but, all I could find was a quick scene showing skis.
Didn’t make a lot of sense to me.

Yes, that’s it.
Skis, hey? Imaginative writers. I’ll have to look for that when I watch my DVD set of the original series.

Best way to do it is make a searchable database in Acces rather than Excel.
In Acces all the relationships from cell to cell in each line is maintained so if you decide to a column to sort either alphabetically or numerically all of the horizontal relationships are still maintained.
In Excel of you try a column sort, it just sorts that column and you just scrambled all the information you were gathering.
You can also have hidden cells that have pricing of each kit or where you bought it and when. Or even better would be to have all the after market bits & pieces also linked to that kit listed as well.
As an output you can have just the one kit manufacturer or all the manufacturers of that kit that you have listed alphabetically or by price or by difficulty.
I was a machine tool estimator and I absolutely hated sifting through bookcases of part prices and looking up lead times for ordering… for each freakin’ part… so I cheated.
I asked my boss if it was ok to build a database and he said nope, every time you did that, a series of Excel sheets are generated and the memory back-up snowballs into an enormous amount of server memory space.
Sooooo…I cheated and did it in Acces instead.
This all happened just as the machine tool industry was starting to move to other countries and disappeared here in the U.S.
I ended up being Mr. Mom for 15 years…
