VT-16 Orlik: fuselage nr. 2!

Today we release fuselage nr.2 (mine!) from the mould. Cracking open the mould and checking the result of almost a full day of work (the 2nd fuselage took us 6 hrs) is always an exciting moment. It came out without any major flaws and is 20gr lighter than the first fuselage. Nr.3 is due to be built on Monday. After that we’ll finish work on the 2nd and 3rd pair of wings – the upper sides are already done, but we’ll need four half-days to insert spars and close the lower side of the remaining wings. More on that later.
