Just in Time!

Hey folks, Happy New Year! We now have completed our Phase 1 flight testing of the P-36 Hawk prototype. This was a very high priority mission for ScaleBirds as we need to be in Phase 2 testing to fly the bird to Sun N Fun 2024 in early April. Winter weather in CT is usually blustery and cold. We had it pretty mild from Christmas to New Years Day, but the week between was rain and low clouds - like at 300 ft ceiling on average. Just terrible. The clouds cleared for New Years Eve and N Y Day so I put the last 5 hours on her. The prototype is not heated and though she has a canopy, its drafty. I am still trying to warm up! Totally uneventful flights, the bird is getting into a good stable condition mechanically. Very happy with the systems and flying characteristics. Its now 10 degrees cooler than New Years, so we completed Phase 1 - Just In Time!

Scott is working hard on updating the 3D CAD modeling of the design and we will be making some announcements shortly regarding the first tail kits and our Beta kit progress. Its going to be an exciting year!
