UMA Asks to become a Sponsor for the F4U Project.
We stopped by the
UMA Instruments, Inc. booth at the AirVenture airshow to talk to them about
purchasing non-functioning display gauges. We met Sharon who is the
Sales & Customer Service Representative. After telling Sharon about how we
were going to do a cockpit mockup using only UMA display gauges and how we also
plan to use fully working gauges on the flyable prototype, Sharon was extremely
happy to hear about our project, Sharon immediately asked us if we were looking
for sponsors. Of course we accepted and we can't wait the work with UMA on
the Corsair project and future projects as well.
Welcome aboard and thank you!

F2G-1 No Longer Just a Concept!
We were approached this week by two engineers that were
also getting ready to start an F2G-1 Corsair for the primary purpose of racing.
After several hours of discussion, it was decided to merge our efforts into one
project.
The new aircraft will be roughly 75% and will a two-seater designed around a 900
HP engine.
More news to come!

F2G Concept Promotional Airplane Update

is an extremely well know artist known for his Bomber nose-art and his work is
featured all types of aircraft. Mr. Foster and his daughter have agreed to do
the concept artwork for a 'possible' future presentation to Marathon.

Bearcat
The Bearcat was pulled from storage and the dimensions were checked to see just how much larger the aircraft
would be if we mounted a Rotec R3600
rather than the Rotec R2800
that was originally planned. ...more details later.

Promotional Aircraft
For most air racing fans, seeing the famous F2G racing corsair is a familiar sight.
The sponsor markings on the famous Corsair race plane are that of Goodyear and Sohio.
Goodyear is well known for its tires and Sohio for its fuel. In reality, Goodyear
was the not only the chief sponsor, but the manufacturer. Our company is located in Findlay Ohio
and here in Findlay, Ohio where Marathon Oil's headquarters is located as well as Cooper Tire
Company.
Our concept is simple; NuLANtek would like to develop a concept aircraft where Marathon and Cooper Tire
are the chief sponsors. The only question remaining for this concept project is to
which Corsair model should be used? Being considered are the F4U-1a, F4U-5 or one of the several F2G
variations.

Facility News
UPDATE: The est. costs on a new building were far too out of my reach and I'm not willing to borrow $300,000.
So we will be reconsidering renting again if we can find something reasonable.

Facility Update!
I contacted my builder today and he's telling me that the bid package and designs will be done this week for the new facility.

Into storage we go!
It was getting clear to us the current facility was getting too small and our lease was at an end.
So we moved into a storage facility until we could build or find a larger place to rent.
