Final presentation and electronics report coming together!

Working hard on the weekend for the final push and project presentation in the new week. Thomas fuelling up.

Payload testing successful! Got another batch on the way tomorrow.

Today we began integration of our electronics into the airframe and started prep to make it flight worthy: evaluating rigging points and sensor mountings.

Tomorrow we're conducting a second long range test and several hours in the freezer!

As development on our flight computer for Lancer I continues, we sorted out a mission patch!
