Made a Bunch of research hardware this week.
54mm 75mm and some 98mm!!
I can't wait to loadem up and flyem!!!
I'm gonna anodize these tomorrow.

I think you need someone to test your cases / closures, say some one out west where the flying season is just getting started !
What is your estimated cost on the retail side?
When I have approval to sell I shall give prices. To do it now feels to close to breaking my word. I am truly sorry friend, But I have given my word. I hope that still counts for something in this world.
The sarcasm didn't come through but . . . . . . . . . .RD, I hate to disappoint but I have given my word I will not sell these.

i'm just wondering, in short, what does it take to anodize something? I've seen a huge anodizing tank at an aerospace plant, but i couldn't really get close enough to tell what the process actually was.

Knowing that you gave your word that you wont sell these at this time I would be disappointed if you went back on that! It doesn't matter if you gave it to a friend or enemy - your word is more valuable then gold !
, I'm kinda Crazy.
Nah..Really?:rofl:
We will just have to start calling you CE then! CJ's long lost brother!:roll:

Ya know, there's a part of me that's chuckling right now -- weight reduction in the forward bulkheads, via holes drilled in them....in the same picture as a body tube with diamonds carved into the surface, which like create extra drag.
I'm curious on those diamonds. They look like they're in a gel coat layer on the tube? I'm assuming you've got a mold that the tube goes into, rather than machining them in after the tube is made?
How thick is that gel coat layer?

I think the diamonds are made with two layers of tubes. One with diamonds cut into it.
Looks like it came off of a vertical machining center with a fourth axis to me.
Quick and dirty anodizing: Get a big metal tub with color stuff in it..Good powerful(but not TOO powerful) power source..One lead say the negative goes to the tub..Positive to the parts to be anodized..Dunk parts and let the magic begin..At least that it the gist of it..Two oppsingly charged products will attract each other...
Those are sweet looking cases, Eric! Going to TRY and make it to the Nov research launch..Wish me luck! :wink:
