 Greetings,The plasma cutter is your friend.  Man, that thing slices though 1/4" stainless like butter.  If Philips lays me off as planned, maybe I'll cut the company van into pieces and FedEx it back to them using the company account :-) The stainless flanges weigh 2 lb 6 oz, and the Racing Beat 1/2" flange weighs 4 lb 13 oz.  I didn't really do all this for the weight savings, but I'll take a couple pounds.Overall progress isn't as quick as I'd like, but rev 2 will run again before too long.  The exhaust should be finished by next weekend, then I'll only have plumbing and wiring to go for ignition.  I'll still need to make some radiator ducts before it's ready to fly though.  Most of the EM-2 harness is done, so it will be installed before the next run. Cheers,Rusty (the mad plasma man)
