I'm still interested in building one. I printed the templates at Kinkos and have measuring discrepancies. The measuring tick marks on the page margins are often not to the scale they claim. A couple of them were 1" off, with others being within 1/8".... But when I put the the drawings together, everything fits just fine. Has anyone else had this problem? Were the tick marks added to the drawings or were they originally there? Kinkos printed them out all the same with no scaling. I am hesitant to start any actual construction with this uncertainty. For those who have printed the drawings, did you measure all of the tick marks? Did they all come out perfectly? Thanks, Mike

But, the army pays me pretty good money to fly an incredible machine – four big rotor blades, twin turbines, neat dark green paint, and a mostly bullet proof seat! Anyway, thanks for the contributions to aviation you guys are making. Even in this day and age, the cutting edge of innovation can be in someone’s garage.

From a total newbie: Thank you for all the hard work with these templates. I just recieved my TERF cds in the mail yesterday - magnum, sorry to hear your plans are taking so long. I've been reading through the plans and looking at the digitized templates. If only I could start building now. But, I'm home on R & R leave from Iraq for only a few more days. It will be several months before I'm back again. Jon/Tony, whoever the mastermind is behind these new templates - thank you. How many total templates are included in the original plans (as the appendix is not included in the TERF cds)? Are you guys planning on completing the entire set? Also, what is the main advantage of the longer nose modification? I took a ride in Frank Pullano's VariEz two years ago and haven't been able to think straight since. Must build.....
