Point taken Paul,
Of course we need to make good plans how to do it before starting to cut anything. Perhaps we must think in the way of making some component first to see how it works out and work from there. I know that a lot of projects start by making a rudder. Perhaps this is a good starting point.
Also as Paul states if it progresses well it might be possible to make up the basic airframe components of wood and skinned with aluminium/magnesium sheet to get an idea of the size and look of the airframe before fitting it out with equipment. The benefit of this is that we have a very smart looking airframe already looking like a Whirlwind which can also act as a sort of magnet to attract people interested in the project and who could be very beneficial for the project.
We definitely need some chatsessions for this.
