I'm pleased to announce that there is a new Sr-71 Team member: Eric Strauss, owner of
EBS Carbon in Boulder has agreed to come on as "Tooling and Carbon Advisor" (I'm also going to be working for him part time, so that should add to my knowledge bank considerably). Eric is a great guy and all around carbon guru, one of the most knowledgeable people in the field when it comes to tooling,
prepreg, and all things high tech. The list of projects that he has been a part of is mind boggling, from carbon fiber jet packs and deep sea submarines, to jet boats and Indy cars. I'm so grateful to have his input, it should really improve build quality and raise the probability of success for this machine.
Along the build front, I was able to throw together the mould structure for the
Foredeck today. I built the box frame yesterday and mounted the frames today, its just waiting to be faired for skin. Need to get some plywood. Hope to get that going this weekend or the beginning of next week.
