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. -- Jim in NC 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. |
