Y'all ain't gonna believe this......go sit down.....
Dassault Systemes' drafting software (Draftsight) has asked me to come to Waltham MA to film the construction of 2 of my flat jets (a 70 and a 90) to be used as a presentation of the capabilities of Draftsight at SolidWorks World conference in L.A. in Feb......I've been beta testing some of their stuff over the last year.....that's another story.....

Anyway, I was sending them the drawings for the StealthStream (with the 3D), and one thing led to another...it's a hoot.......all expenses paid.... I didn't post this anywhere until it was finalized.

Well, it's been finalized ! I'm about as excited as a 5 year old on Christmas morning......

They originally offered to fly my wife and I to L.A. for the SWW conference in Feb. But I countered with an offer to come to Waltham to build and fly the aircraft for their marketing purposes.
And they sent me this today..full 3D solid model of the StealthStream....using SolidWorks.

They went nuts when they saw the last 90mm take to the air.
..and all of this happened because of a couple of pieces of foam board and a fricking coffee cup.........LMAO
