Hey guys,
Fair warning, I may stick my foot in my mouth from time to time.

Other than that, I hope to be a positive and helpful part of the community here.

It seems this is where the guys who can't afford to fly hang out and talk about flying and more importantly building! I like to think that I am resourceful and like a good technical challenge. I also like to design and build. Wood, metal, composite, bubble gum, I like it all!

I work at a testing laboratory and have amassed a small airplane worth of foam for forming and various other bits that might be valuable for building a plane. I like the idea of a composite/wood airplane with seats for 2 and an enclosed cockpit. I actually found this forum through searching BMW 1100 motorcycle motor for flight and here I am! It was good to see that this motor has been used and is acceptable for some.

I also have a small machine shop in the garage and have contacts with fabricators and waterjet cutter in the area, and CNC shops.

If you are having problems getting a part made, I can help.

Good night,
Dave
