Woodwork for the body

This should have come before, but the Kaar is beginning to get into shape, with the wood work of the body completed.


The wooden structure would be used as the pattern for the final fabrication in fiberglass composite material.

Obviously, in its present state, the edges are quite sharp, but these would be properly curved once the final stages of fabrication begin. This was something mentioned at the SEM Media event, although the implications from certain quarters that the extension of the kaar in 3D would increase the co-efficient of drag by three times (3D, get it?) were deemed too puerile and attempts at sabotage! :-)

For us, the fact that a friend from Cornell in US has called this design cool is enough!
