Wind tunnel tests last week.

Development of the Stratos continues with parallel structures and aerodynamics development programs. The structures programme is focused currently on extensive stress analysis of the fuselage. Ultimately, all primary structural components will be built and load tested prior to the construction of the first prototype.
Brian has identified it.

You have control Bri.

Not that either mate.

Looks like it will have to be cluetime shortly, unless one of you asks questions.

Just a quick look in...I would have gone for the Skyleader as well Bri. So how about the Jihlavan Kappa KP-5?
