Welcome to my World

So this is what I do on the project when I am not gluing bits of boat together or making low calorie high protein chicken salads or running up and down the hill outside my house...
...
I study aerofoil data.. A lot of it...



It's not rocket science - and I can see that to many it's a bit boring really, but the number crunching has to continue until I have isolated the section I think best fits the function and then a specification can be generated.... Which goes into the Bill of Materials and means I can identify when I selected the section and on what criteria, and how much it will weigh per unit and how much it would cost in glass or carbon or aluminium... and then I can look at mould tooling or machining time and decide on what I need doing and get it under way...


... and that can take some time!
