Just read your Post.
ChazInMT,
Just read you post on the aerocap you were thinking about building. Your sketch is very good and I know how it is when you have a good idea and just don't have the time to build it. Believe me, I also know how it is to travel long distances in your work. An aerocap would save you alot on fuel.
Back to your sketch. It reminds me alot of one a friend of mine designed several years ago. He lives here in Little Rock and is in the aircraft design biz. Your sketch looks alot like his design which I always thought was pretty cool. I scanned the rendering he did and post it now.
Good luck with building your cap and if I can lend any advice on the build, just PM me and I'll be glad to help if I can. It is great to see such an interest in aerocaps and I have a great deal of respect for anyone who has built or plans to build their own aerocap.
Bondo
