Corey Kelmel left the room in awe of his giant scale Taylor Craft scratch build at the March 20th club meeting. Apart from the technical, mathematical, and materials skills involved it was a tour de force in project management as he described the logistics involved in curating the experience of fellow builders, international parts sourcing, and working with specialist suppliers.
He makes his own laser-cut parts. He modifies plans to suit features of full-size planes he’s tracked down. His garage resembles a 70’s discoteque as he shoots lasers to ensure 3-d alignment. And virtuoso Excel skills help manage all that complexity and track progress.
Corey also designs and creates presentations professionally, so that too helped create a particularly entertaining and informative evening.
