This Week We have designed the tail plane
Instead of doing foam and carbon, I have designed both a carbon and foam and a balsa version. The balsa version is 65% lighter. (and cheaper!) We started manufacture of the tail plane yesterday Our current model, including everything with our current density data, is weighing in at 5.75 lbs!! I am confident that it will be below 6.5 lbs when its all said and done!

Upcomming Should get wing ribs and other wing materials by middle of next week Will continue to put the final touches on model Estimated completion of prototype plane by end of November… hopefully we can get a test flight in before it gets too cold!
