The next flight on deck is the Tandem airship. Poor Tandem keeps getting bumped back for paying gigs. We have a tight weather window left. By the end of November the winds aloft will be up over 100 mph and the low morning surface winds will be gone. Tandem is capable of flying in pretty harsh conditions but we want a calm day for the first flight. If the weather goes bad the flight will need to wait till spring. However, the team is pushing hard to get it in this year.
Last night we stripped down the vehicle and did a complete reweighing of all components. We’re making upgrade to all the systems and this weekend reintergration will start.
Yay! I can’t wait to see tandem in flight.
Good luck on the preps! Eager to see it happen!!!!
