Lab 3 - Building the Believer

Lab Overview

In lab 1, students swapped aircraft and conducted a peer review of another group’s Believer build. Each group identified defects, concerns, workmanship issues, and positive build practices on one other aircraft and documented their findings.
In this lab, We returned to out own aircraft to start assembly on them. While we weren’t able to get outs flight ready in out lab time it should be ready by the end of next week.
