Mystique update

Wing is covered!!!  Not the neatest job, but not bad for the first time in a long while. I may add some yellow trim as well. 

Mystique

Not bad for the first time covering in over 20 years...  Bottom half of the wing is basically done. Next time, better wingtip construction. I had to add balsa blocks to the top half of the wingtip. 

Aileron servos and wires are also installed. Hoping to complete the wing on Monday. 

Mystique

The mystique has been sitting unfinished for about 2 years now. I pulled it out today and actually started covering it

The goal is to have it ready to fly in the spring. 

Launch 9/5

Low power only for me at the September MARS launch. Flew the Super Big Bertha twice - once on 2 C6-3, once on an Aerotech E15-4w. 

Orbital Transport had its first flight on a B6-4 (glider needs nose weight).  

Augie II flew on a B6-0/A8-5 combo. 

The pool noodle flew on a C11-3. Parachute didn't fully deploy and the thing bounced about 10 feet up. The internal body tube didn't survive...  Replacement has been ordered. 

R2-D2 flew on a C6-3. Skywriter flew on an A8-3. 

It was very hot and humid, but it was a good time.
