Some friendly advice: Don't EVER give up on an aircraft project.
Haven't really given up but realistic enough to know it's not likely to be finished, and I probably couldn't pass a physical any more. We decided the liability risk isn't worth what we'd get for it, alas. QAC had a customer who, after being told his work was inadequate and unsafe, flew anyway, crashed, and broke his heels. He sued, lost, and the legal costs put Quickie out of business
