It makes the TDi have the capacity of a truck, with the efficiency of a TDi. We're loving it.

I probably should have kept that to myself!

Great work!

That is indeed fascinating imagery!

Fun looking trikes too! (I have trike envy.)

Added to the front page.

Thanks! There is essentially no radii on the leading edge, so hopefully the spandex does work out. Thanks for the complements on the trikes, they are a ball.

PS- since not unmanned aerial vehicle what does UAV mean in this case?

Thanks Bob. UAV in our case stands for Ultralight Adventure Vehicle.

I expect it to have pretty strong holding power, so provided the spandex has enough stretch, we should be able to get it pretty tight.
