It might be the Easter break but the new racing season is getting ever closer. Work continues on the new car build.

Work on 'Dylans little Bro' is coming along slowly.  So we are putting in some hours over the Easter break.  This allows us to work on things that take longer to complete than our weekly meetings.  Today we have been working on building the wings of the car.

To build the wings we are using a sheet of honeycomb aluminium which needs cutting to the right shape and size.  We have printed out a paper pattern that we attached using double sided sticky tape and this then allowed us to cut the right shape using a bandsaw.
