Here starts the second day with our second prototype bright and early in the morning. This is also the first flight of the second prototype after our first day trying resulted in a broken nose gear before takeoff. No payloads were loaded on the first two flights.
After reinforcing our nose gear mount with some good old carbon fiber, the 2nd prototype took off and had a flawless flight, thanks to our great pilot of course :)
