Interesting how often when a plane gets damaged guys will quickly move on to something else. They can spend many hours adding personal touches-changes-refinements-modifications to a plane but can't handle any rebuilding whatsoever once any significant damage occurs. "It's ruined", hands up and that's that !
Too bad on Robs hangar collapse. Had he asked I could have outlined a strong and fairly cheap design that surely could take a great snow load. Building a hangar from flimsy "antenna tower" sections and tarps in snow country even sounds like a bad idea...Haa Haa ! Like I know anything about snow huh ? On a related note as I understand it snow also killed or mamed a rebuilt 2-seater last year. Man that's just unacceptable.
Anyway....as well as the fairing idea Rob also converted some metal wheelbarrow rims for Lazair usage as well as developed a brake system to go with them. He also developed a nifty little nosewheel design for Series III's. I was never able to get any detailed info-pics on construction so it could be duplicated by anyone interested.
