Last I heard from Danie is that he and his family have moved to Lime Acres in the Northern Cape, and having Internet problems. I do plan to go and visit him in the near future, though... he did the wiring on HW1 (and an excellent job it was), and I need a few tips on HW2, since I plan on doing the wiring myself. This is his Facebook profile pic, showing the completed Kubel:

No sense being pessimistic. It wouldn't work anyway.
