Andy, thanks for the welcome and feedback. One of my hopes with this forum is to learn more about people's preferences so we can improve or add to our product line. We are currently building a stiffer framed prototype that might become a new machine in our line soon. OEM Aircraft folks are driving some of that project.

Alan,
One of my other books is Who's Who In Aviation History: 500 Biographies. MUCH fun to write and I met many notable airman back in the 1970s.

There is no higher standard for metal work than that used in aircraft. Kent White is the man for that level of proficiency.
