Does anyone out there know of it? Does it still function? Are

there any

drawings available? did it throw up any snags? did the

design ever get

patented? Anything to help us make up our minds if it would

be a good

project.


Make sure to ask Ed about his "Dial a Plane" control system that
automatically brings a specific spot into the door position. Ed

calls
his design for obvious reasons the Pentagon Hangar.
