| This is something I did for work last year. JPL came to Aerovirnment (where I work) to test the feasibility of flying a rotor-craft on Mars. After a successful proof with a Rail-Guided model in a very large vacuum chamber to simulate Mars atmosphere at JPL, we were asked for a Free-Flight model to further prove the concept. We decided that some control would be needed so a 2 channel (throttle and yaw)) would suffice. Atter further consideration a 4 axis craft was decided on though the Boss Man still wanted the 2 channel for backup. Hence I was told I was on my own to develop the 2 channel vehicle. |

| After a couple lunch-time builds and after hours, the tail feathers are done and the wing is almost ready for shaping. Blazing florescent lighting doesn't make for very dramatic lighting. The laser cutting on this model is superb. |
