Aero journey continues...

Long time ago I've decided that I want to build a kammback for Berta. Initial tests with a cardboard showed that there's a potential (~9% gain in coast down time - no A-B-A test). Anyway I've started with buying a hatch from a junk. Didn't wanted to destroy my hatch, and it's construction is not the best for attaching anything. Anyway few days ago I've started to build kamm.

"Junk" hatch mounted


First tries with styrofoam and cardboard


Finally I've started to build kamm from XPS panels


Glued, mounted with screws, combined together into something of a final shape


After some additional shaping



Last for now step - shaping continues


That's all for now...

To be continued...
