Hi
Perhaps a language problem?
In any case, it is hard to see how one usenet group could ruin your
opportunity to build boats.
No , and as I acturly had been building many, the reson to instantly
bully any new prototype any new concept also surprised me at start,
but you se when I interduced the idea of full/scale develobed panels.
made as one large roll of paper ready to display mount onto whatever
sheet material ----- I found one danish caravan factory that sold 3mm.
,one nice side ,ready made glasfiber sheet white gelcoat at very low
cost, ----- but what it seemed, was that the actural concept and the
difference from tradisional scaled down plans ,the fact that here was
somthing that was not the tradisional trouble of re-calculating and
upscaling to even transfere to just a building jig, where I offered
the actural panels in full-scale drawings ready to cut from the lines,
---- this was seemed to be the actural offence.
An offence towards those at that time maby 50 or 70 year old designs
found in P.M and simular , even anyone shuld think that it would be
more obvious to support a real living and innovative boat designer
that proved skills develobing exiting new design tools, ----- but try
go back as you say yourself ; first pfull-scale plans was no good even
a few years the jokers interduced them as their own invention, then
full-scale plans was no good as the paper would scrink in moisture
even then with scaled planes and paper the foult would be ten fold,
but ontop and even I showed both a load of acturly build boats, and
scaled models, then even a scale model wasn't a prove of nothing even
that's what boatbuilders allway's used.
--------- Anyway the 3D-Honeycomb method at the same time got the FAA
aproval and was pointed to as "an exiting new innovative method sor
small sports and beach planes", so being up against a crowd of
fanatics of aincient plywood boat designers didn't bother as much as
the obvious harm to a promising new boatbuilding concept, where
digital design tools was develobed to the benefit of amature builders
but obviously they also made the old fasion plans obsulute, unless you
by all means wanted to defend what was not even the noble wooden boat
building crafts, but cheap plybox designs 50 year old.
I often at those times wondered if it had to do with copyright but
acturly it was a battle between somthing that was not the old
boatbuilding crafts --- I am acturly a woodenboat builder --- and the
obvious options develobing new exiting design tools, guess who won.
Anyway the arguments was so hysterical that you had to give up when
somone claimed that a 3D model wasn't a "prove" for anything, even a
scale model was no use towards an elegant elefant, and I simply gave
up ontop the vaste of what shuld be my family's bread. -------- If you
check the Cyber-Boat remains you will se some nice designs though ,but
the 3D-H method that everyone could have profited from, was not
develobed further within the noble boatsbuilding craft, but Im'e not
to blame for that.
