Closing in…

This week Jeff made a lot of progress on the scale model. The wings are now mated to the fuselage and almost ready for close out. The landing gear is almost done as well. By the end of next week the model will be close to first flight. We’re going to be adding cameras and, later, telemetry so we can have some real numbers on the flight characteristics.

Aluminum spar bonded into place. This will not be in the full scale aircraft in case you were wondering.
