TeenFlight™ Build Session Regular 9am start. Two of the milestones reached last Saturday were the completion of the Vertical Stab and the fuel line plumbing.  This week we will perform a pressure test on the fuel line system, an often-fraught process.  It’s important to do this as early in the assembly sequence as possible while […]
