Strip Show #1


I have a desultory kick around in the garage and figure we've enough material left over to build a lookalike for patent purposes if nothing else at half-scale viz. eight feet long.

From left to right, spars from a deconstructed drone for the cross-bars, and then a strip for the lateral supports, another for the hydro-skis and another for the booms respectively.

Atop all this is a light plywood sheet and another in laminated foam... albeit cut into pieces for a build at half-scale again, but which I am confident I can re-construct.

What I call a 'look-and-feel' is important for projects of this kind, and it's what I was arrested for at a meeting of my acolytes in the Nevada desert.
