Eclipse Wings

@Nathaniel Li

• Shoutout to @Rohaan Vasa and @Camilo Artigas Alos for getting wing parts ready!

• One more set of 3d prints needed (Aileron is a priority).

• For people interested in wing manufacturing, come to the work session!

  • I will be releasing a doc with the instructions to assemble the wing

• I think we’ll have to leave the wing unwrapped for EE to do wiring?
