Our first full scale wing


First of all, we had to program the foam cutter to get the desired profile. Our wing will consist of three parts that we can connect and disconnect. This time, the middle part of our wing was cut out in full scale. We also tried to cut out the holes for the carbon tubes.


Just like last week, we still have problems with the trailing edge. Of course the material we used for this first try is not of the best quality. We still secretly hope the problem will disappear when we use the right material. 


This is the result! Even though the wing material we used was just cheap styrofoam, we are still excited everything worked.


As you can see here, the trailing edge is not really good. The hole for the carbon tubes looks good. We're thinking about adding more holes in the wing, not to put more carbon tubes in it, but just to save some weight. That's what we'll try to do next time!
