I too am interested to see how this pans out!
So how are you planning to build the swoop bike then- are you going to use scrapyard pieces for engine details, etc?
Also, re: the Eta-2, how are you going to build the cockpit, as those are some serious curves on the glass dome.
I wish you all the best with your projects, please keep us all informed, and ...ahem.... May the Force be with you!
