Does anybody know, if the #CX300 / #ALIA of #BetaTechnoloies yet has the #condensedbattery of #CATL ?
Or do you know, which #batteries they use to create the impressive #performance ? 6 seats, 560km reach and 230km/h seems to be a big step forward for #electricflight .
Please boost!

Floor! After taking our anniversary off, yesterday I went about building a frame to hold the floor while I work on it prior to install. After, I set it down and cut out the landing brake. Canards are very aerodynamic and don’t really slow down well; a deployable air brake helps to slow down the aircraft and maintain an approach speed. Given that I’ll be able to slow down via regenerative braking (using the propeller like a windmill), I don’t expect to use the landing brake outside of emergency landings/emergency descents. Which is a good enough reason to make this.
Deviating from plans, I cut this out as a large rectangle. Plans specify a small area for the hinge + a smaller overall landing brake. I have a much wider panel + the area for the hinge it the entire width of the brake.
Today, I spent my time cutting out and fitting foam for the contouring of the floor. Tomorrow, I’ll mix some micro slurry and epoxy the foam in place.

My wife and I spent 6 hours today glassing the interiors of the fuselage sides. This was the biggest layup I've done so far. We glassed the interiors of both sides at the same time (part of why they're lined up they way they are is to facilitate that), then installed the upper longerons.
I'm very grateful for her help, couldn't have done it without her.

I installed (microed - epoxy + tiny glass bubbles) the aft spacers from yesterday to the fuselage sides, then I contoured the rest of the fuselage interior. Almost ready to glass these!
As part of contouring, I made the first modification to the plane plans for the purpose of electrification today. There's supposed to be contouring toward the aft end, to allow for fuel sight gages. I don't need those, so I didn't bother doing that.

Today, on my #electricairplane #experimentalaviation build, I cut and shaped foam for the aft spacers of the fuselage. This was time consuming - the cozy plans do not give precise dimensions for the this fairly complex shape. I mostly eyeballed them, combining that with what little dimensions are given. They're close enough.
