Towards the bottom of the page... :)

The only thing left to do is align the fold mirrors and projectors!

With every update you post I keep pondering how to wrap that around my 172.  The sizing looks nearly perfect.  That would be so cool !!!

Any progress on the legal issue of making plans available?

That 172 would be a great fit - but there isn't enough cockpit structure to mask off the display properly.  You'd have an awesome out the window view, but you'd be able to see the edge of the mirror.

I've got a Beechcraft Bonanza that keeps calling out to me every time I walk past it. :)  It would require some *EPIC* restoration work, but it would fit in the display...

I've got some inquiries out on the patent issue, but I haven't heard back yet.

Here's a short video showing the pre-warp map.

I've been down with the creeping uck and haven't gotten much done on it - I got a bit stir crazy on Monday and went out to fiddle with it some more.  That just gained me a scalp laceration when I struck the bottom corner of the screen frame with my head.  I hit it hard enough to move the whole platform 8" and knock all three projectors out of alignment.  I think that was Universe-ese for "Go back to bed idiot, you're sick." :(
