Gordon,  


The information largely belongs to Dennis and his team on the project.  It is not mine to give to an engineering company to use to make a manifold to sell to the world.   If you'd like to be pitched on a sale or a licensing venture,  let me know and I'll have him contact you if he's open to it.  The idea was that I would be allowed to use his research to help get my project into the air.  It wasn't to make money.   


Please don't take any of this the wrong way...  the benefits are a dyno proven manifold that is smaller than stock and pre-fabricated for the rest of us that don't have the time, welding skills, or both.  


regards 
Bill

Bill,



While there are several of us who may have the resources and capabilities to fab this, you haven’t given us enough information to make that assessment nor have you convinced us of the benefits. What is stopping you from sharing more of the information?

I can understand why there might be some skeptics in the group.


Does anybody have the know-how and time to pull a group-buy fabrication project like this off? I think that with say the cost of say 10 manifolds, the price per copy would fall dramatically over a one-off, but is there enough interest.


I'd like to see it happen, but with a 3 year-old, a full time flying job that keeps me away, earning my masters degree, starting a business, and my own RV-7 project, I think it'd be easier to drop the plans in a fabricator's hands and write the check. Short of doing that, are there options I should consider?


Heck, I might just have to write a check for a one-off, but this is a community right. We can work together.


Regards,
Bill
