Thanks for everyone’s help in this thread. Since my initial plans now have more holes than Swiss cheese I’m going to consider this mess closed. I’ve taken in all that I can understand so far, and I’ve since been doing research into an Imbert based design. I’ve got some more reading to do, but hopefully I can find the time to consolidate all my thoughts into a new plan within a week or two, and then I’m going to start a new thread and try asking some more questions - hopefully ones that will be putting me closer to something that takes a physical shape.
