As a start-up?
They can be great fun.

Best wishes, and hope you won't need any luck!

I just e-mailed the necessary folks at Hawker-Beechcraft that I'm
retiring from that activity after 13 years and 10 days. They're
just not doing any real EE design work any more.

I'll be joining forces with a gray-matter consortium here in
Wichita. We've already got a firm request and a couple of tentative
inquiries about developing the best we know how to do in flap and
pitch trim actuation systems. This is going to be fun!

Bob,

Who is doing the real EE work for Hawker-Beechcraft?

Essentially nobody. The "new order" is to farm out
as much new development as possible. This makes sense
to individuals who's business model is to fabricate
from existing technologies . . . the Legos-TinkerToy
approach. Problem is, that folks expected to understand
what goes out in our airplanes are isolated from
the innards so completely that trying to be a Subject
Matter Expert on any one system is exceedingly difficult
if not impossible to do.

Congrats on your new job. I'm sure you will love it.

It's an extension of work I've been doing as a
hobby that makes a little money for over 40 years.
It's always been fun . . . when it stops being fun,
I'll go find something else to do.
