Today a majority of the groups started on the inner wing sections. From here they'll move on to the outer wing sections. Then it's on to joining everything together and covering!

High Starting was today. Nine out of the Nine planes were able to fly. There were a couple pole strikes but no one really had a fatality off the high start.

Of course every year we have some crashes. Sadly when the students were flying one of their planes on their own it didn't make it back...

Yes. This was an amazing project. I/ my group had a blast making, flying, and saddly picking up the peices of the Lufthansa glider. Thanks to all the NVRC members who helped out along the way!
