yep, you either need a new bulkhead or a new camera.

I'm a pro at this, scrapped two bulkheads and both fuse sides

because they looked just like that.

two options, if you just wasn't happy with the assembly, you can

build over in about 1/4 the time.

or, with a heat gun, peal off the glass, and this will leave

a hard shell type texture. patched my fuse bottom this way.

surprisingly easy.

I'm slowly learning not to try too hard for the lightest possible layup.

Try Keith Spreuer, met him in Big Bear recently, nice guy.

His installation is impressive.

He's got the SVX 3.3L, OE engine parts, Ivo prop, and a check engine light to boot.

The best thing with having our systems behind closed doors is it allows us to control the "when and where", not be forced to disclose information.

 

We are dealing with two of the worlds largest aerospace companies at this moment who are assisting us with flight trials but due to restrictions and NDA's we cannot publish all our information or show a fully working system until all tests are complete. There is no point showing you a system that only does half of what we say it does. We are not a Moller.... and we intend to make sure that NEVER happens.

 

IF we didnt have a viable range of products and IF we dont go through the certification process with the CAA why would we be entered into three RFI's with the worlds leading defence supplier?

 

Here is a photo taken earlier this year as we produced the master plugs for the UAV system moulds. As we stated above. The first manned system will be on full public display at Farnborough 2006.

 

 

I think that what was said was only constructive and dead on.

I'm not sure what your intention with the web site is, but I too think

it's missing it's mark.

I have some great ideas, hidden doodles saved away, we all do.

But I'm lacking the education, expertise, and confidence to throw

caution into the wind and persue them. I'm impressed to see

you hot on course and we cheer you on all the way.

Like was said, your site needs more substance to be taken seriously.

Past projects of your own will add substantial credibility.

I like the fact that you're not soliciting investors (cough, chough, moller)

I don't think that anythings been said to be offended by, just

a view from outside perception.

good luck with the venture

I don't mind being the first to do something different or strange. I just don't want to make a $10,000 mistake...

I was advised by David Orr (a few chapters too late) to build the

canard, spar, and wings first, then decide about and/or purchase

a tub later.

There are several projects for sale just before the point of committing to

the cost of nose and main gear. I was contemplating selling mine at

just that point for just that reason.

I'm 6'2", almost fit in the bare tub, except for that damn longeron,

found out that I couldn't be effective as PIC in a flying cozy.

My tub is now for foam and glass storage, reference for future tub

size enhancements, and maybe tandem (I've thought about it too)

when the day comes that I find I have too much time and money.

Don't want to build another plane, the cozy flies like a fighter jet.

I made my tool with eighth inch acrylic, and found a coffee can about

the desired radius.

BTW, rebooting?
