Jeff,
Nicely done! (both the back plate, and posting a photo) That looks like it was done in a pro shop. How big of a chunk of black nylon did that take? Did you do it manually or on a CNC machine?
I don't know about anyone else, but I think I enjoy the build more than flying. I was out cutting down a crankcase on the mill this morning, heading back out with the camera to get some picks.
