Battery Shrouds

@Smile Khatri

• Carbon fiber layups were completed last Saturday.

• Andy has contacted E3 for water jetting the shrouds. E3 should be operational next week because they need to fix their waterjet.

Cabin

@Alison Thompson

Cabin is looking great! Looks like we’re ready to order CF tubes from composites canada and get started on making layups for the first revision!

Layups on pause as we need to order resin with the CF tubes, will get them done as soon as we can after resin arrives. I will start procurement after the meeting and will update when we’ve got a better timeline on when these supplies arrive.

Compostites canada order:

• https://shop.compositescanada.com/#/product/CFT-10x9TW 1.2m of CF tubes, makes ~4 skeleton tubes, (technically 4.6) thoughts on how many we should buy? price: 15.58 each (I’m not logged in though and it sounds like prices are different that way?). My thought is to get 3? enough for 2 cabins + if we want to use any for the doors?

• https://shop.compositescanada.com/#/product/AE3630-Q aeropoxy hardener, price 72.52 (Nathan’s price), I think we just get one of these because there’s a bunch in the composites room already

• https://shop.compositescanada.com/#/product/AE2033-X aeropoxy resin, price 187.58 (Nathan’s price), just get one cuz this is a lot
