I am a bit slow to post this, but that time of the year that I am at my busiest time of year. Keyboard online time is a bit limited compared to I have time to talk on the phone. Anyway this is the real deal, and a project that has been a dream for 35 years. Red Eye Rouge is the official site to keep up to date with the build progress. I will update what I have done after each stage of the announcements. So go check out what Red Eye Rouge has to say in a comical way.

I was only able to spend 1 hour each day on it this weekend. The below freezing temps just make it difficult to do much, but yeah I think I'll let you keep the seat warm at G4

Oh, I was just reading about the screen used Viper helmet for sale, etc.
Will you have a replica Viper helmet I can borrow perhaps for my Viper "flight"

... maybe that is a side project for the freezing winter months?

GoldCylon - any guess on the weight of the nose so far? Just wondering if it is in line with your calculations. Hopefully so.
