Tower of Power

We spent some fun time this evening with our associate sponsor representative, Dr. Chris Uhlik of Google. He dropped in at a great time with the major components coming together. A few weeks ago all we could have shown him were aluminum shavings.

Here is the thrust box temp mounted on the pylons and standing upright. There are a few gussets that need to be installed before putting the prop on it but it was good to see it in near final form.

That prop hub is 10ft off the slab as it sits there in the picture. It will go up almost another 48" when installed on the chassis.
