What you think Doug, Ol Thom?

A buddie at NASA used a 5 axis CNC machine to mill it for me out of a
block of carbon fiber ;0).

Perfect fit and he says it should be slicker than the tail wing on the
Blackbird spy plane.

I will have to make sure to have the keel board down all the way in
shallow areas to make sure I dont rip off the transom. Thanks for the
tips.

Off to bend on the new sails.

So, does NASA know that an employee is stealing blocks of carbon fiber, using
NASA facilities to machine it, and giving it to "friends"? Sounds like a felony
to me.


Did I tell you the solid block of carbon was suppose to be machined
into a landing gear strut for the super secret Aurora spy plane?
