I've co-opted our test-pilot Monty the Mannekin, who's done tours of duty in Helmand province besides Mothercare in Croydon. Monty is a half-scale dummy, but don't ever let him hear you say that. As a result he is overly large for the mock-up, but gives you an idea of where we are headed. He will also come into his own once we replace this mock-up with a near full-scale model using 32" propellers in place of the twelve-inch vinyl that we're blessed with here.
There's still a chance at this stage of gratuitous sex if you tell people you build sleds for underprivileged kids.
