It's good to back from the holiday and we hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year!

Our first day back was productive and very exciting. We have finally managed to get the gear geometry to work, this has been a major undertaking and a massive project in its own right with lots of ups and downs for all involved. It's a good feeling being able to move onto the surface modelling designs for the skis and oleos.

The pattern will be scanned using blue light technology at a resolution of around 29 microns so we can pick out every detail that the Fighteraces team have put so much effort into creating.

The end of January will see the tooling and layup designs finalised. We have some very talented composite specialists working on this project and its exciting to see technologies and techniques integrated into this model that have never before been used in a model aircraft.

The team at FighterAces have done an incredible job. I'm very much looking forward to visiting them this month and seeing the completed pattern!
