Craft modifications started in earnest, it is now in many little pieces!

This is the first time I’ve built a craft for two people. The roof will be continuous for structure and protection, There’ll be a door one side and windows on both sides. Both pilots will be lying down and the fuselage.. basically a pencil.

For the attempt I‘ll ride in the front seat. The front cockpit will be cramped – with no electronics, or anything in fact, other than a steering wheel and throttle. All the electronics, timing gear, gps’s etc will be in the back cockpit, which Dale will monitor.
