cnc machine work?
I have some cnc lathe's and mill's and use them to manufacture original
designs (mine) for the oilfield. I'm also pretty proficient at Solidworks (3d cad). I'm a pilot, airplane owner, and have the requisite RV-7 tail kit gathering dust. Anyone have any leads or ideas on how to apply our design/manufacturing capability to something aviation related? I don't need the work but am just looking to do something a bit more interesting. |

We're trying to design a standard glider winch which will certainly reuire a lot of machine work. It won't fly but it is aviation related. I'm working on production CAD drawings for a 4-drum winch now. There will be a fair bit of laser cutting, milling and turning work required. Bill Daniels |

If the items depicted in the drawings are within your interest and capabilities, perhaps we can do some work. -R.S.Hoover |

Just wondering when you have free time plus mechanical skill then why this
RV-7 kit is rusting ? "dlevy" wrote in message .. . I have some cnc lathe's and mill's and use them to manufacture original designs (mine) for the oilfield.

3 year old.........actually, I'm getting all fired up again. I've just
gotten access to a 2,000 ft^2 shop. I'm in the process of etching the floor for epoxy paint. I'll move the tail kit in when the paint dries. " wrote in message . ..
