Message	Whether it's commercially viable seems doubtful to me by every passing day, but if anyone has a shot at making it work it's you, Brett! I like the wooden mock up work. I'm still working on my Z daily and I'm convinced it's because maintenance access wasn't seriously considered in the design. Your thoroughness in avoiding such pitfalls should be celebrated! I don't mean to be critical but 7x the safety factor seems a little high -- future weight reduction opportunities? Also, curious what you think the potential is of the VG30 design relative to the new VR30DDTT. Any case, great work! OverZealous (CT) My General posts (click)
