Hey, I'm thinking about doing the same thing for an aircraft.  Most of the
discussions I've seen here are car related.  It's a different story when you
must truly rely upon your own engineering -- you can't just pull over to the

efforts.  You can mail me directly if this is outside the scope of this forum.
