Default RE: MUBU II F5D Build

Okay back to MUBU,

I finished polishing the molds and my plans are to lay up a mule this weekend. This will not be flyable but will have a fake spar and aileron / elevator spreaders so I can cut surfaces loose and work out placement of all the neet little bits to make it go. I will also start laying out the pod with the criteria being 1. Smallest package possible 2. Being able to get it to balance 3. Ease of maintenance. I will also begin to think about winglets. The designer says to start big (he gave me some ideas) but it will end up needing very small winglets mostly to aid in launch.

I will post more after the weekend and maybe we will see what the wing looks like.
