Remember that @FreeCAD nosecone from yesterday? Got the first prototype loaded up with a single LED and a battery, the little lengths of light pipe work well. Video doesn't capture the colours well tho!

Little attempt to anneal some tiny fins using the glass plates I cut earlier. Lots of little developments happening in

Fun morning laying up a pattern for the larger Rogallo prototype. It's going to be ripstop just glued on for this prototype. I can imagine sewing one with sleeves and pockets down the line.

Rogallo development continues... tonight an attempt at a micro supercapacitor powered wing. Also done a bit more work on the 1m span prototype.
