I don't have technical commentary on this thread... I just wanted to say that you are a brave man for attempting this project. "Ambitious" might be understating it.

Hopefully you'll read and absorb all the information here and elsewhere, and keep trying. This is very cool, and as long as you can afford it, and you're safe, I say "Why not?".

Remember, if it wasn't for Seth Cochran, we wouldn't have warp drive!
Sincerely, good luck.
