A fun discussion today - wide ranging with some new faces!

Talking about the SpaceX launch - it came up that two of our members have worked at NASA Langley - one in the 60's, and the other currently!

We also have Bryan Walstrom from the Experimental Aircraft Channel stop by for a bit, check out his YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY8yl9St6jNAZSx2i_FNBcA

We talked about RC planes, and EAA's program "Young Eagles, Build & Fly":

The Corby Kestrel: https://www.homebuiltairplanes.com/forums/threads/cm-2-kestrel.30193/

We discussed the Thatcher builder's manual, and how to improve it - documentation from MiniMax was mentioned as a great example of good documentation.

There was some talk about the new Cessna electric airplane that flew earlier this week: https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a32702802/all-electric-airplane-first-flight-cessna/

And finally a talk about simple projects to expose new builders to the process of building an aluminum airplane. Some ideas were mentioned like the Van's Aircraft toolbox: https://shop.vansaircraft.com/cgi-bin/shop.cgi?ident=1590853885-356-336&browse=misc&product=toolbox

And a rudder kit was mentioned as well.
