Hi Arnaldo,

So where did you go after Lawrence? I've been here since 1977. Any chance you 
know Saeed Farokhi, Tom Sherwood, or Suman Saripella? I worked for Dr. Farokhi 
at his company Aerotech Engineering & Research, along with Tom. Next week I'll 
start working for Tom at his relatively new company KalScott Engineering.

The ULF-1 plans are nice and appear very thorough, but they're a bit 
intimidating when viewed against the life energy I would have available for it 
at this time. I'm not usually squeamish about that kind of thing, but there is 
so much information there, and the design is more complex than I was 
expecting, I feel like it would take a huge dedication to make it all the way 
through the project. I see lots and lots of hours spent simply deciphering the 
information in the drawings. But I'm sure the Falco would be even more 
demanding, so yes it might be a good first step.
