    Yeah, that one is fairly big. ;)
    Is that where you work - Scaled Composites?

    I wish, I was just looking at some of the airplanes for some inspiration and saw the link to check out their new 50 foot 5 axis machine.

    Wonder if its more of an assembly robot that a fabrication via removal tool. Guess I could read it all :oops:

    I heard a rumor that they bought that from the ford motor co. That was what they would use to make full size cars for prototyping? Not sure if its true but seems feasible.
    There's no reason this could not be built on a budget, as a mater of fact you would get great results because of the size of the scale :) the only problem I see is the 5th axis that's where it would get expensive. Not on the hardware side but the cam software would cost ya.
    Go for it! We'll do what we can to help :D
