First post this month - just in time actually. The reason is very simple. NO WORK had been done on the Aero. November and December were fully booked and no resources were left to work on this aircraft. A pricing policy change and some new help will get the project rolling a bit more rapidly in the first quarter of 2012.
Still, some stuff was outsourced - like the windshield.
The story goes that the bubble windshield was the first blown windshield produced locally. Was not all that great to start with. The unfortunate S5-MBB had a crystal clear windshield, but was not optically correct due to waviness in the plexiglass. When flying it, one had to constatlly weave around with the viewpoint to get the ''correct'' sight. The other problem was that our windscreen was full of microcrakcs as evident in this image. These are internal cracks that cannot be polished out, so the whole windscreen was unservicable.

Thanks for stoping by. I wish all of you to stay healty in 2012! Happy new year.
