Dayton Take 5

I just finished a revision with a collection of improvements for the Dayton project.

There is an improvement missing (slanted toothpick from Richard). That should be in revision 6. This was initially in the Squirrel project but it was rejected since it made the instructions more complex. But with Dayton that may not apply since the parts are laser cut. I suspect the slanted toothpick may make it through testing so watch for revision 6 to see how it gels in the test environment.

Tomorrow I’m mainly testing a new version of the motorstick and the wing. Some issues with the wing come forward in high humidity. That’s still in the works so if we have high humidity I’ll use an alternate wing so we won’t disrupt the motor stick test.

There are eight 12 year old kids in the test tomorrow.

I look forward to reporting what comes forward.
