Think "flat pack"... it's all in shipping, crating, and molding time... After all.. if the kit is going to be made as flat panels in the mold... why not just...
Finally got to Costco again. The rearview camera was from a company called Winplus. It looked me from the packaging that it wouldn't automatically create a...
Fiberglass fumes smell bad, but they aren't toxic. People have been driving around in cars for years with fiberglass & other plastics inside with no ill...
Does anyone know what the Advanced Order Deadline is? I received my link but, have been holding off until I can, maybe see some actual performance data when...
Ah...you've missed the point of the Advanced Order. It's throwing your lot in with Captain Riley before the XR3 Pearl sets sail. 'Tis only fer those who are...
No there are no out gassing problems. Once cured all epoxy systems are fully cured, pose no particular hazards. Out gassing might only occur in space flight...
Air is recycled in space to the point that little things make a HUGE difference. There was an interesting article on super sniffers in Wired magazine a year...
The operative word here is "cured". Epoxy systems get thru this stage quicker and with less outgassing than polyester and vinylester systems. Temp also plays a...
I wonder if anyone has considered that the diesel engines that are under consideration do not meet motor vehicle pollution standards. All are designed for the...
When composite materials or epoxy/graphite or fiberglass are subjected to space conditions microscopic hole or "Voids", like in a sponge but smaller, tend to...
Yes, I agree but the amounts of gas that makes up that smell is so small it becomes a non issue in regards to adverse health effects, even for the "Super...

I think you have a good idea, but the biggest problem is the notion of thinking an alternator can supply enough juice to power the electric drive motors. The...
Andy you have intrigued me. Talk more please about fuel vaporization and this efficiency. I certainly know I'm involved in the XR3 in part to be as green as I...
By speaking of the out gassing it is implied that you were concerned about the gasses that may or may not come out of the materials used in the vehicle. I...
Some of this article is off-topic, but he does praise the diesel engine quite a bit. You're gonna see this in many other groups, but I think the word should...
I just read that article. Incredible stuff, and yet it makes sense. ... -- Doug Johnson "The one serious conviction that a man should have is that nothign is...
Be careful when choosing batteries--this application needs "deep discharge" batteries. Usually if you see a battery rated as XXX cold cranking amps, that means...
I've had propane injection rolling around in the back of my mind; but not hydrogen. Need more info on the engine we're going to use. I want to be sure it'll be...
