In which there is much cutting of steel

June 17th - via: kickstarter.com
Even though there are still 3 days left on the campaign, progress on the actual device is getting along quite nicely. I've spent a lot of time on my band saw over the last week and a half. That's just 740 of the cross braces I've been cutting. I... (Read More)

June 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
Monica has been gracious enough to provide a teaser of the notes she will be preparing, in the rather recursive form of a letter talking about the notes she will be preparing! Eeeeee, I can't wait! I might just be more excited by the notes than I am... (Read More)

Strut flange prototype

May 27th - via: kickstarter.com
I spent some time this weekend working on the prototype ring struts, specifically the flange connections that allow them to be broken down for transport. As with all good prototype work, it was very informative! Some small tweaks needed, but overall... (Read More)

Fly through video

May 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
