Thanks and a new Epoxy Bonding testing video

Just a quick thanks to all who came out and flew over Sunday, it was an amazing weather day and we had a great crowd, UNCC & Lenoir-Rhine USLI teams came and flew their prototypes, we had the Civil Air Patrol out, and a bunch of folks we hadn't seen in a while. 

Second, I'm a patrion member of BPS Space & Jo Barnard's work. He's gone the extra mile to run the numbers on every conceivable prep method for bonding 2 pieces of fiberglass and the results are somewhat surprising to me, but the ultimate source for the final solution comes from an unimpeachable source. Check out the video here: https://youtu.be/YA1ME6kN2gI

See ya in December!
