Underside of the wings and third fuselage

Last week we built the third fuselage, the best so far. The moulds are now ready to build the fourth and final one, which Georg and I will do at the end of next week.

In the meanwhile Andi (in the pictures) and I are still busy producing the three pairs of wings. Today we finished and bagged the first of six wing undersides. As we already prepared all six wings (cutting the openings for the wing spars, cutting carbon fibers, inserting cables etc.) it takes around 2-3 hour per wing do close it up. Most work is putting in the carbon rovings, both below and on top of the main wing spar. We pull these through a syringe filled with epoxy resin, and then cut them to the right length. At the base of the wing we have 2 x 24 rovings, gradually reducing to 2 x 1 roving at the wing tip. Tomorrow Andi will take it out of the vacuum bag.
