Hey, funhouse- I'm curious: what sort of shop setup do you have for fabbing all these parts? Are you doing it all at home? Please excuse me if you've posted this earlier...

Hi rottydaddy,
                       i have a small workshop at home, nothing very exciting, just a lathe, vertical mill, Mig Set for the welding. Most of the project so far has been sheet metal work, so only basic hand tools are needed.

Another assembly almost complete and ready for the paint. This is the jettison and fuel cock control assembly that fits onto frame 9.

So, how are you going to get all of this to interface with your computer? Looks really good by the way.
