I talk to Dana once in a blue moon on facebook. He is in a new home enjoying
triatlons and scubba diving, I think he is an instructor. He looks very healthy
and happy in pictures.

Basically a thrust augmentation/extraction system.

Pete,
The idea for the larger opening size is to accommodate the increased air
volume due to engine heating. However, the exit methodology is particularly
critical to the overall efficiency for getting the cooling air overboard and
back into the airstream. Simply cutting a big hole in the bottom
Yes he was. I wondered what became of Dana about a year or so ago and
searched his posts on the Vans Airforce site and found that he sold
Black Magic then he disappeared from that group. Not sure if he got out
of flying all together or what. His old cell phone number didn't work

Those are good and valid points and I appreciate you stating them in such an
accessible way.

The reason for reluctance is two fold. First off, the sitka spruce that is cut

Bob,
You probably already know this, acceptable scarf joints in aircraft building
are at a 12 to 1 ratio I believe.
I like the idea of storing your sweaters in the KR while not flying it. I do

you remove them for a shor
