> Thanks for the kind words Brendan. I wish I could have been there for the seminars. I just need to make a sample of the 260 to ensure everything works ok, and then I'll start on the 280. The cross tuned 280 HFC will probably take a bit more work to get it all worked out, however I've finished the cad work and cnc programs.
