  7. But, liquidators are only doing it for themselves at ridiculous hourly rates. 4 weeks work Case , a very good friend had 2 contracts go belly up, lost almost $250,000 and was cash strapped , he could not pay his debts liquidator appointed, they clawed back $ 130,000 guess how much their fees were ,you guessed it $130,000 they are parasites , anyway ten years later he is now a millionaire with his factory work premises in the 1.8 value , and his own house is debt free, no debts and is a financially sound business, he also paid the small business debts off that he owed Liquidators = parasites ,bottom feeders

  15. Low wing sort of RV ish ( my own scratchbuilt) Makron polycarbonate, 2mm forms quite easily bends twists rolls my estimated top speed is approx 160knots but will cruise in the 130 area for fuel economy you must leave plastic cover on when working it i see from sonex it has bent angles it will bend ok use a heat gun but very carefully I have smashed an offct of 2mm with a big hammer it only dented no cracking , cheers Gareth
  16. I purchased a full sheet 2mm thick they cut my windscreen size also, then i shaped cut to pattern curved around ok this also stiffened it , it is clear polycarbonate (makron) drill holes larger than fixing and no riveting make sure edge distance is sufficient.,i had my fibreglass molds already made drilled a few fixing holes and the sealed /glued with sika 21 held together with 3/16 clecos for 2 days till cured than fixed to fuse for trial all ok, take off and wrap in old sheets till final assembly , make sure to leave plastic cover on till you fix permantly or you will scratch it (ask me how i know lol)
