I wasn't speachless untill the metal work. The previuos stuff is pretty usual...but very well done of course.
Truth is I know several modellers that do this quality of work or better. This is what I strive for, thankfully I got into the hobby at age 13 @10 years before ARF's were available. If not for that I would be attracted to mastercard modelling too I'm sure.
I thought Ca glues were the biggest breakthrough.

The other thing to keep in mind is that this is obviously going to be a commercial product that will command $1000's of dollars per copy and have hundreds of people lining up for. Even if it takes a guy a full year full time to build the prototype the rewards are as awesome as the work. A adventurous invester would not go wrong fronting this guy $100,000 or more.
Non the less it takes a leap of faith for the builder and investor especially if you have a young kid as he does.

Well, I finally got through the entire site and now I'm speachless. He should have just scaled up to full size.
You can tell when a guy uses vacuum bag valves as weights he's in the composite industry...and it shows.
Seeing things like this help to step up ones own expectations and possibilities.

You're right - the workmanship is just mind blowing.
I shudder to think if the wing/tail plane incidences were wrong
That'd have to be $50k as it takes to the sky
