Production has begun!

After a few tooling related delays, I am happy to announce that our wing spar fitting production is now underway! The roughing phase has started, and we hope to be able to send the fittings off for heat treatment in a few weeks. Before we can begin the final machining phase, we still need some to raise the remainder of our fundraising goal; can you help?

The first pass done.

Turning down the main body.

Tooling size ref. One of the tricks with these parts is the long, large diameter bore with a special end profile.

Rough body OD and ID complete on 1 of 8 parts, large end turning and milling to come.
