Our work is a grinding halt. It took Larry and I (Harsh Patel) 2.5 hours to do 1 step. Which riveting a small wire attack bracket to hold a bunch of wires in. It was in a tough spot and finding the rivet and part itself took most of the time.

A similar story is present for all other sections. Putting the wiring and other small details in takes much more time than anticipated. Furthermore back ordered parts delay certain sections, which delay later sections and the problem expedites itself.

Besides the plane, the group went to the Balloon rally at the Airport, students practiced flying on a flight simulator, and cleaned up the hangar (there was nothing to do because of back ordered parts).
