I have some cnc lathe's and mill's and use them to manufacture original
designs (mine) for the oilfield. I'm also pretty proficient at Solidworks
(3d cad). I'm a pilot, airplane owner, and have the requisite RV-7 tail kit
gathering dust.

Anyone have any leads or ideas on how to apply our design/manufacturing
capability to something aviation related? I don't need the work but am just
looking to do something a bit more interesting.

Check out the Yahoo Group "winchdesign". We're trying to design a standard
glider winch which will certainly reuire a lot of machine work. It won't
fly but it is aviation related.

I'm working on production CAD drawings for a 4-drum winch now. There will
be a fair bit of laser cutting, milling and turning work required.

Thanks!

Send me a valid email address and I'll send you some CAD drawings. If
the items depicted in the drawings are within your interest and
capabilities, perhaps we can do some work.

Go, Bill, go! I'm looking forward to it!

Just wondering when you have free time plus mechanical skill then why this
RV-7 kit is rusting ?

3 year old.........actually, I'm getting all fired up again. I've just
gotten access to a 2,000 ft^2 shop. I'm in the process of etching the floor
for epoxy paint.

I'll move the tail kit in when the paint dries.
