Must be soon time for dinner… I went out for lunch at a place at seafood restraunt at Pymble, and I really have not been all that hungry; Until now that is. A client rang me to get some more mods done on a circuit board, and he had to escape when his wife let him know that dinner was ready, and asked if I had eaten dinner yet. Well, um, no. Being rather cheeky, I then told him ‘Can you send me some over…’, and was politely advised that it was ‘experimental’ and it may not be so wise. On the same token though it was a Neil Perry recipie (the QANTAS Chef) and was not made by Qantas Catering (I did ask) so I placed my order… I somehow do not like my chances of a home delivery.

Just to prove that it really is a small world, one of the people at the meeting today is a mechanical engineering genius. He builds mounting hardware for eftpos systems, and retail point of sale systems and the like. We got talking and THE PLANE came up – it turns out that he is a plane lover. So I mentioned the type of plane we were building, not expecting him to know anything about it. His reply was more along the lines of ‘Nice Plane’, and the stranger ‘I did start building an RV8, but then decided the RV10, (the four seat version) was what I wanted to do so I have decided to delay things whilst I get my license’. Interesting… And he showed me prototype mounting hardware for a small LCD screen… Ahh, Alclad. From an RV8… Oh… Recycling. The other strange thing…

Turns out I have driven past his house too many times to count – He also lives in Castle Hill… Might be an idea to wait for him to build his RV10 before commiting to building one of them… Interesting meeting… Very small world!
