my eyes…..

Bootiful, just bootiful!

Too damn right, work at Lilium was sooo slow I was only at 30% capacity at most times. Not surprised they went bust. An example ... For securing cable harnesses us designers would position Clickbond cable tie bases in the model....expecting the operator to use common sense and fit in roughly the right position..No, some bright spark decided to bring in a company to 3D scan the entire interior of the aircraft and use a laser marker system to pin point where to fit the bases! How much did that cost!!! But the writing was on the wall earlier....They used Toyota Gazoo Racing in Germany to do all the wind tunnel tests. So TGR had lots of data on the aircraft.....and promptly spent 500 million investing in a competitor.  

Sounds familiar.

Busy man indeed. That is what all those years working was for after all. That and putting food on the table, roof over your head, etc, etc...

You’ll be busier than when you were at work. Just more enjoyable - I hear. Looking forward to it. But sadly years off it. Despite being old

Hi John, indeed, but I have a super-duper syn-mig, so you just set the wire type & size and the material thickness and it works out the optimum setting. Seems to work quite well, also has a spool gun for aluminium and does tig.....but it's lift tig......and I'm crap at getting the bugger to start! But all the de-bodging work is now down and painted with primer. Tomorrow I can start on the wheel arches. So far I am enjoying retirement!

Congrats always nice when a plan comes together.  well done to you both.
