My Turn

The November 5th class saw most of the students preparing for their exams on the 7th and 8th -- ELA worksheets and review were out, as well as some Math stuff. We also did another Math practice sheet, and all students are doing either Integer Multiplication or Division. The horror that was Integer subtraction (just in time for Halloween!) has passed.

Once the quiz was done, I decided to do a bit of work on the plane myself. Scott's work on the bulkheads seemed to "take", and so I worked on the fiddly task of reinforcing the fueslage with 16-odd short stringers throughout its length. It all went together OK, and another eyeball check of the thrust line seemed straight, despite the wonky bulkheads. A few more pieces need to be put in place, including the landing gear struts with the wire reinforcements, and we'll be ready for covering.
