The build on the BatRay looks clean and meticulously accurate from the photos. I cant wait to see it with the skins on. This is a plan I would love to build for myself, it is so out there and innovative yet simple and practical in structure, with potentially amazing flight characteristics and performance for the build cost.
Keep your chin up, you are making great progress and we all appreciate the effort and opportunity you have given us to share this build. Look forward to meeting you in the future when you display the finished product... With great respect... Joe
Like many others, I have followed the developments with great and interest and will be very keen to build one when the CAD plans or kits become available.
I am designing a very similar lift body. I regret that I have only now discovered that someone else has been doing this successfully for many years! Many of the hypotheses I set for myself, you have proven in practice, especially in terms of flight characteristics. I thought that this type of aircraft had long been forgotten due to lateral stability issues. May I ask how you deal with the problem of lateral stability and flow separation at higher speeds on the suction side, considering the overall geometry with a self-stabilizing airfoil? Unfortunately, I live in Eastern Europe and cannot visit you, but I would love to do so someday. Best regards, Piotr

Serious progress! It is so great to see the BatRay coming to life and we can't wait to see it fly. Thanks for the update.
Looks nice Barnaby!
Excellent progress and workmanship. Thanks for sharing the process of this amazing build with us.
GR8!
