One week skyranger build - Successful project

Hi all

Yes the project was very successful.

The short story is it was built and flown in one week.
The aircraft was built very well and nothing was left for later, every part of the build was finished.
Even the doors were done as we had enough time to do everything.

The group consisted of young people that met the first morning of the build for the first time. Guys from Iceland, Czech republic, Germany, Italy and Nepal.
For the buils we only used hand tools for everything, except we did have one battery operated hand drill.
The build was done in town centre square of Torino, Italy in front of the public. People could follow the progress day by day.

We transported the aircraft to a close by grassy airfield for testflight.
There were number of obstacles that normally would be show stoppers but we managed to overcome all of them.

So the aircraft was built and flown in one week.
Pictures can be seen in the photo section of the Skyranger group unde the name 1_week_build and is accessable directly by this link:

I am writing more on the project and will send the group info when it is done and available.
Also we will have some video, but we had problems so I dont know how good the video will be.

But a very successful project/adventure showing Skyranger as one of the best aircraft kits available to the public.

The project was supported by many, including Best Off and Flylight.

Thanks
Agust
