I have recovered some of the files containing the corrections to the
FUSELAGE errors in the Texas Parasol drawings, originally posted in
Feb 2003 but since erased. *Also found were portions of the tutorial
on extruded angle and its use for this type of structure.


If you've any interest in this data please provide a publicly
accessible space where the material may be posted. *Some of the
drawings are in .jpg format, others are in DeltaCAD. *So far, I've not
found any of the text files.

You have tried for years to make me out to be some kind of villain who
stole the design for someone else's airplane and called it my own.

That's not true. Not by a long shot!
But that's the story you keep shouting.

The construction manual I put together for the plane was my contribution
to our little group.

But that group didn't survive. *When I found out that Chuck was selling
the plans anyway, I countered by selling them myself.

When he (allegedly) quit, so did I.

But here you go doing exactly what you've always accused me of doing!

Taking someone else's work, making changes, and calling it you own.

So what is your motive here, Robert?

Why are you doing all this?

Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing;
'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;

But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him
And makes me poor indeed.

Cavelamb, no one is in any way being disrespectful to rude to you with
regarding the TP and this post from Bob or his generous offer. If you
have a need to be angry with someone than you may choose me as I have
downloaded the plans you so generously posted as well as asked Bob for
a copy of the prints and drawing he had critiqued and applied
corrections to.
I even became a member of the Yahoo TP Group because this design
impressed me with its simplicity. So if searching for available
options and possible improvements to a design is wrong then why is it
an experimental aircraft? In addition, as we expected to learn
something about aircraft construction throughout the entire process,
then what is wrong with questioning a design or a possible mistake?
