Bull****.

Just because most who homebuild have no English wheel, or shrinking hammer
skills, or that kit makers have not invested in the molds and dies to
stamp
parts, does not mean that they can not be done. Do you mean that the
Mustang and Spitfire have no compound curves? Every one I have seen are
loaded with them.

Also, your comment that aluminum and laminar flows don't mix is equally
full
of ****. Mustang was laminar flow, right?

No. It claimed to be but wasn't. When you sober up, read the research on
its failure to deliver true laminar flow. Rivet countersinking didn't do
the job and the skins were never true enough.

As usual, you are in left field.

What is this guy building, other than an image as a morphine-addled kook?

Morgie, compound curves and aluminum don't mix because you have to have an
expensive press and molds to get them to. Maybe you have those. At least
in your opium dreams.
