| Visitors at our Open House last weekend |
We had an Open House last Friday and Saturday to show people what we have been working on. It was very well attended, upwards of 75 to 100 people between the two days. We gave continuous tours on Friday evening and Saturday all day, and got lots of great questions and interest from quite a few new volunteers.

In addition to the Open House, we did work on the plane as well over the weekend last week. We got the trailing edges ready for the tail sections, glued the final set of test biscuits, and worked on tool development.
