Open House: ANP MD028 CAP Squadron was rechartered as the "Colonel Mary S. Feik Composite Squadron" so, some CAP members came to view the progress. Lots of future aviators too.
CGS - EAA Chapter 4 members, dropped in too.
Friends from the FAA, Tracon, 99s, AOPA, VKX and even parents joined in !

We hope to have a "First Flight, the Second Time" fly out in October 2018, two years after the plane was received. It has been a long process of hard work.
This STEM project has been very successful and has helped to inspire thirty high school students to consider Science Technology Education and Math and Aviation studies as future career options.
Phase III: Oct./ Nov. 2018: FAA certification and flight test.
