Current state of the CNC machine

So the last video of the CNC machine was snooze worthy. This one is a little better and it shows where we were at on Sunday night.

In case you are wondering that is my brother, Andrew in the video. The next stop will be some cutting tests in a couple of weeks time. Once dust extractors have been purchased and installed.

The other stream of work that is going on is the analysis and design of the foils. The first set will be ultra conservative with the goal of catching back up with everyone else, before anything else is tried. So yes that means boring old NACA 63412 and semi-elliptical profiles like the Mk5 Prowler.
