I started using Mechanical Desktop to model a R/C Helicopter for a friend of mine who owns a company which builds them. I've completed about 90% of the model and ran out of time. After going to a Autodesk Inventor workshop I decided that was the way to go for modeling in the future. Mechanical Desktop is great software but for what I was trying to accomplish Inventor is much better. In my spare time I've learned Autodesk Inventor while modeling items around the house. Thumbnails of these can be viewed at right. After building my own CNC router, I've exported some of my models to GCode and ran them on my CNC Router.

While flying R/C Jets I started a website call Turbine Central where I sold R/C Turbine Accessories for jets. I developed the GSU using Autodesk inventor and brought my design to a local sheet metal shop for fabrication. All graphics and assembly where done by me. Pictures of the assembly and final product can be seen at right.
