For the bus enthusiasts bent on building their own systems, here's a site that sets my cranial wheels in motion.

Hehehe.... It would be interesting if it were possible... I have to admit, I read that and envisioned the locomotive in Back to the Future... hahaha

At any rate, I wanted to say that I have purchased the plans from this site and opted for electronic deliver. They send you three files, a serial number and a buyers agreement stating that you won't give the plans to anyone else, and that they're for you and you only...

The three files are: The plans, an assembly guide, and an updates guide. The plans are very nicely detailed. Any questions you have from the plans have so far been answered in the builders guide (I'm about half way through reading). I haven't yet read the updates file...

But, for the price they ask for the plans, it's at least worth it just for the informational value. At least, that's my personal opinion... :-)

I honestly think I'll be building this plane at some point in the future. I've ALWAYS wanted to fly... and I was SO CLOSE to getting a preassembled ultralight about 3 years ago... but things came up, and I couldn't get it.

Once I build this thing... I'll be able to move the engine to a different airframe if I desire a change... but with the materials used for it, and the cost of the airframe... I really can't see a need other than looks...

Anyway, just wanted to say that I ordered them... and they do deliver very quickly. It took about 3 hours from the time I ordered, to the time it was delivered to my inbox (during business hours, of course)... You also get your own personal access passwords to the files, which are individualized TO YOU... so... if they circulate on the net... they can be tracked back to you... I'm not going to complain though. :-)

Cheers!
