Wow! That's exactly what happened. Are you psychic, or psychotic, or something like that? Hey Woketman, guess what happened a couple of months ago. I saw a Mustang magazine at the local grocery store that had an article in it about Tom Cruise's P-51, with the name of the guy who flies it with him, or for him, and is also his mechanic. It is based at the Van Nuys airport. I went to landings.com, which has the FAA database, and looked for his name for southern California, and it gave me his full name, pilot licenses and ratings, and mechanic's licenses and ratings, and his home address, about two miles from the Van Nuys airport. So, I can go and buy him lunch, show him the display model of the "StarJet", tell him it was inspired by the movie "Top Gun", and set up a meeting with Tom Cruise to see if he wants to develop it, either just for personal use, or for the next "Mission Impossible" movie. It will be faster than his P-51, quieter, and use two jet engines instead of one propeller engine. He would recover investment money with sales of full-size kits. The only other two-seat "fighter style" jet kit on the market is the ViperJet out of Pasco, Washington, and the StarJet would be superior to that jet, using two engines instead of one, thrust reverse, leading edge flaps or slats, and winglets.
I am also going to get in touch with John Logan, the writer for the next James Bond movie, and see if I can get it into the next Bond movie coming out at the end of 2015. It almost made it into the Bond movie "Die Another Day", but they found out about it too late to get into the script. The idea that Vic Armstrong, Second Unit Director, really liked, that you may see in the next movie, is where Bond is doing a vertical dive, to appear stationary on radar, then pulls out of the dive at the last second about 20 feet over a flat snow field, and then they detect him and fire a missile at him. About 7 seconds before the missile would hit, he flips a switch and the underside of the airplane opens up, like Bombay doors, and he and the Bond girl drop out on a built-in snowmobile they were sitting on the whole time. A rocket engine fires out of the nose (white smoke) to slow them down, then a white parachute pops out and slows them down even more. The jet continues and the missile hits it and the bad guy says, "Goodbye, Mr. Bond". The snowmobile, clothes, helmets, etc., are all white, so blend in with the snow. Bond says, "Thank you, Q" (as you know, the guy who does the gadgetry for him).
