I love it
Got my computer fixed. The writing portion of my book's kinda stalled out until I can score some reference information on all the planes I want to cover.

Excellent work as always!
Been checking this forum regularly for your work but it was a bit quiet lately. Glad to see you're back at it.

Thanks. Yeah my laptop was down for a few months. I got it fixed now so I should be ok. I'm actually working on some F1 car stuff right now.

...The plan views are great, but including a perspective view would be nice as well.
I could easily make perspective views of any or all of the planes in my "planned" book...hell I could make perspective cutaways of everything. Unfortunately there is no financial justification. Cutaways are a "40 hour a pop" job by hand and perspective illustrations are only slightly less "painful" as I don't work with Maya, CAD, Cinema 4D, etc. If the publisher that expressed some "modest" interest in my book (provided I could give them sample chapters; which is contingent on the acquisition of at least a portion of the references needed) would be willing to back the amount of labor required financially then I'd go full speed ahead.
That outcome appears more unlikely as:
a. I have thus far failed to deliver on the required sample chapters
b. I am not delusional as to the likelihood of success in such a spurious field

That's a very cool design indeed. 40 hours is pretty decent going too, but yes on a large scale out of reach of most publishers.
