Will do, but if y'all scrap, it just means I'll be getting the AEV sooner.

The RR is the cleanest I have seen searching around for options.

I know you will sell boat loads of these!

Would we sell a boat load.... Yes and no, This is a relative number. 50 might be a boat load to some, where 500 might be needed (a year) .... There is a large number of people looking for this type of product but it comes down to several factors.
Tooling cost / return on investment
Life cycle of future sales
retail cost / margins needed (if it cost too much to cover tooling no one will buy!)

And the list goes on.... Just trying to keep you guys in the loop. Don't want to set the wrong expectation.
Project is not killed just in an important stage. I believe it will sell better than projected... Otherwise i would not be sticking my neck out as far as I have...

God I hope I'm not wrong..

This is the only design that I like. I hope you build it so I don't have to put 2 hundred hours in design to make my own off of your idea.

Oh please make it happen! And if it doesn't happen, can you release your design drawings to us so we can have a go at building it ourselves!!!!! Especially whatever is under the hood.
