Didn't JJ have a write-up in Soaring recently about his Baby Bowlus

The way JJ made the pod for his Super Albatross is very different from
the method employed in the production Baby pods. The production pods
were molded plywood veneer made in a mold, while what JJ did was to
skin a series of bulkheads using handcut planks like barrel staves.
