That's true.
So far, so good.
Going through the first cold spell now. I sent N1 comments on shortening the bolt length and having no thin section around the squirters. ( A dimple forms when tightening the squirter nuts.) Surface finish is not 'Dead Flat', as in block sanded, but this is a very minor issue and probably related to this being a prototype. Semi-gloss or flat finish would mask this, if it is typical in CF laminates.
I have not heard from N1 but I wish him a speedy recovery.
