It appears that my previous thank you note didn't get through. Maybe
it's a appropriate, 'cause now I get to thank everyone on Thanksgiving.
The generosity of members of this list is boundless. I actually had
several people volunteer to cut the sheet for me. I declined those
offers because of the shipping cost and difficulty of communication (and
I really do want to keep the 'I built that' element as much as possible).

I have an inlaw that has access to a portable plasma torch. I'm going
to get the sheet laid out and get up with him. I had actually forgotten
all about this particular resource until someone here mentioned it.
However, I'm still of the mind to hold back at least one piece so that I
can give that friction cutting method a try. Just 'cause I LIKE to see
sparks flying.

Beyond that, I've had dozens of occasions to recieve excellent
information from this newsgroup, both as direct responses to questions
I've posed and in responses to others...even from old curmudgeons(sp?)
like Barnyard Bob. Regardless of the amount of bickering and
namecalling, I firmly believe that everyone here has the goal of
building/help build the safest possible airplane at the least expense of
time, effort, and dollars. When I come flying into Sun'n'Fun or Oskosh
in a few years, you can all rest assured that you had a hand in getting
me there.

Thank you.

(PS - If I crash and burn on test flight, then it's all on my head.)
