Following the too-massive-by-far GNATOSAURUS, Nick seems to have realised, that replacing welded spaceframe parts by similar- form composite ones was not the answer to simplifying serial small- scale production, as the end result proved both too heavy and too expensive for the kit-buyers market that he had in mind. Therefore, a viable GNAT would have to be redone from scratch, a brand new design maximizing the strengths of the (admittedly simpler to manufacture in numbers) monocoque composite medium. Q.E.D.H.

   Because the front suspension made of
 synthetic webbing proved so successful,
 Nick elected to employ it also in the rear,
 by employing a wishbone tension arm, to
 the apex of which is anchored the 4cm
 wide  RED  suspension-"spring" element.
