Also, unless you build a "brand name" experimental (like a VANS, or maybe a Rutan design) the selling market is abysmal. It's like a custom car, you'll never even come close to getting your money back out of it.

Yeah that looks like a cool spot. Was thinking Angeles National Forest or something up that way (since I'm somewhat familiar with the area), but I suppose light pollution and trees would be annoying for serious stargazing. My wife and I are stopping at Lake Arrowhead on our California tour/honeymoon.

Hey, Speedfactory, what's up with sending me one engine mount? Fuuuuuuu.....
Actually, it's pretty comical.

In my 2 years as that department manager, and the guy before me was there 7 years, we hadn't had as many screw ups combined in our tenures as they have had in the last few months and the current guy only has a quarter of the responsibility either of us had. It's pathetic, and I make sure to let him know that every day |

To complicate matters even further, the keel is a wing itself, creating areas of high and low pressure as fluid (water) flows around it, therefore generating "lift" in certain directions. Sailboats are pretty incredible things. Yes, keels are pretty dang heavy in displacement boats (the one on my little 26' footer weighs about 2200 pounds) but they're also shaped with a leading edge and flared very much like a symmetrical wing.
