Today I happily recieved the new clevises in the mail, along with some more twinwall sample material, and a rather interesting letter. This should speed things up a bit and allow us to finally synchronise and smooth out the elevon movement on the right wing, after my little crushing incident. The shipping status on the esc states a friday or perhaps saturday arrival (hopefully)
P has also obtained some Sintra, with the hope of creating some cross-sectional shapes for the fuselage and the wings, for Phase 2, and that will definitely be useful. I'll just have to investigate weight issues and decide whether twinwall really is the best material to use. Since our aircraft will not necessarily be flying at high speed, and maximum efficieny as well as stability is crucial, so an aerofoil with some camber and high lift at low speeds would be ideal.
