Chris I thought I was speaking to Claudius when you were there, but perhaps not.
It is certainly a concept that I had envisioned, and then discussed with John some time ago, probably just after Bensen Days 2011. I had convinced John there that the Genesis was a machine well worth considering as his first single.
Of course being John, he then went the whole hog and ended up being the US Agent. When he spoke of holding dual nationality and his location in San Diego, my mind sprang to a holiday vacation say in Cabo where John could organize a set-up with cheap (comparatively) accommodation and facility as described that would be attractive for the whole family to go, just in case Mom and kids were not into building with Dad.
The availability of a good weather strip with the ability to learn to fly the plane on hand as well enables the builder to learn to fly the machine on-site as well as build.
His knowledge of part sharing of course is well suited to this sort of high end machine.
Chris while you are lurking I was giving some thought to your idea of long range flight. It struck me that a quick connect fuel fitting would be very easy to install just under the rear seat floor access panal where the fuel lines come in from the stub wings and to the engine. A collapsible fuel bladder on the rear seat with a hose down to the connection and Bob's your Uncle.
