Oh Baby.....

The full enclosure portion of the HoneyBee G2™ Project has now hit the "awesome stage"!  The blog responses show that you, our followers and fans, are really, really enjoying this part of the design.  In fact, since it has gone public,  the enclosure  has been the focus of virtually all emails. 
We have created a truly unique methodology that allows the HoneyBee G2 Platform, both Single & Two Place, to use the same "Nose and Rear" enclosure portions.  To outfit the Two Place machine, one adds the "Center-Gull Wing Door Section" in between the Nose & Rear portions.  This approach provides a uniform look, cost economies and a system approach to the overall enclosure. Additionally, this contributes to the interior finish, fit and function.    

We are working out cabin venting, additional storage, cooling ducts, final airflow, door and sealing schedules, lay-up specification, drag reduction, further fairings and a host of other details.  The goal is to create an enclosure system that is a great looking, world-class effort. 

Right now, AWI is in the "let's get lots of input stage" of the design.  So what have we missed? We want to hear from you. What do you like? What don't you like?  How much storage do you need? How much cross country flying would you do in yours? For those in the US, will you be flying into Class C & D Airspace? For those with an instrument rating, would you fly IFR if we offered an IFR Package? Do you want A/C? What color do you want your G2 to be?    If you had an aircraft, would you use it as your primary aircraft?   

Please write me and let me know what you are thinking. 

Have a great day!
Jim
