Disclaimer: Please Take Notice
My craft has been highly modified from the original plan and design.  Many of my modifications, especially the GEO installation, were strongly opposed by Barry Palmer of Sevtec.  Barry sent me several email messages with the subject of "GEO not a good Idea" trying to convince me not to convert to this engine.  As you will see, I implemented these changes anyway at my own risk.  Be aware that neither myself, nor the designer, holds any responsibility to any changes, modifications or design alterations you make to your craft based on the information provided in this site.
Good luck, build safe and above all
Happy Hovering!
