Tony,
If it is the guy that I think you are talking about. This is his link
http://members.iquest.net/~aca/index.htm.

 His work is rather hardcoe I
must say. His kit is the one that I have been thinking of using for my
bird.

That LP1 is quite a piece of work - beautifully done. >
Good workmanship is not always good engineering.

The guy is obviously a fabulous fabricator and mold maker but apparently he
is very naive when it comes to airplanes and engines.

Paul,
Having worked with Butch on the Bellhousing - it would appear to me that
some of the carbon parts made by this chap seems to have very small radiused
edges, which suggest stress risers to me. Admittedly their not square but
they seem to be getting close to square.
George (down under)

I agree. Larger radii would be stiffer as well.
