    Re: Short video of the first test of the new vacuum table
    Hi Red,
    Plane
    was an Aero-Flight 'Streak' built privately in an attempt to compete with Cessna , Piper etc after the war. Company started by an ex Curtis Aircraft employee James K Nagamatsu,. Supposedly a fast
    Plane
    ,-ended up with 225HP injected Continental and around 219 mph. All metal and retracts, quite advanced. Unfortunately couldn't compete with the big guys and closed in 52, -no sales. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aero-Flight_Streak Re the heat gun, it might work if the box was small enough, problem is you have to get an even temp across the sheet (just starting to sag) and have a sheet big enough to clamp in the frame for heating and drawing (also you would need holes for the air that you are blowing in to get out to avoid killing your heat gun) - not what you want as you need the heat to stay in. Ideally you would have an array of radiant halogen tubes under the sheet for heating. The 3 tube cheap heaters are a good base. Pic is the type I canabalised for the element tray and push buttons (only prob here is that you can't buy the elements because they won't ship them). Heaters are cheap enough though- about $40 so probably cheaper to buy another heater for spares.
