Part 4: FPV Test & Fiberglassing

They used the CNC to cut spaces on the nacelles for the landing gear, making sure to leave enough space if they want to make them retractable.

With the turrets printed out, they were ready to test the laser tag features. They setup the top turret and an RC plane with laser tag and had a small battle.

 

Videos of Part 8 and 9:

To give the B-17 added strength, they fiberglassed the whole surface with the help of their friends Tanner and Daniil from Tritium Electronics.

The fiberglassed wings weigh about 26lbs all together.
