    Nice Video! I like how it shows a lot of the intermediate fabrication steps. Most consumers don't understand the labor and skill required to make certain products, and this video certainly helps with that.

      30.5 x 30.5 on the Holybro Kakute F7, and supports both Betaflight and Ardupilot. I have one on an Iflight XL10 running BF, if I want to torture myself again, I'd switch it to Ardupilot and relearn what I've forgotten. Probably won't though. Lol...

      I sprayed Cellulose coatings on pipe coverings for the petrochemical industry and we used waterfall filters and didn't need a mask, waterfall filtration systems remove 100% of all airborne particles from the air, in this booth all the walls and ceiling are extractors and air is drawn through a waterfall which is the full length of the walls and six foot high, very impressive filters, the paper mask is common in china for everyone to wear all the time, they had a huge problem with TB and the government ordered every school kid, shop worker and public employee etc to wear them in an effort to help eradicate the TB virus,.
      PS it's a fantastic machine don't you think. . . .

By the size, materials and technique, this is not a cheap plane by any means. Interesting that it has a defined cargo area. Very interesting and I hope to see these in actual use.

    Nice to see "natures composite" (the plywood) combined with a thin layer of carbon fiber in a sandwich material! (Now if we could teach trees to grow the intricate shapes that we wanted!)
    This craft is still performed mostly by hand by skilled people.
    Gotta appreciate the "sushi chef like skills" that are required to trim the finished pieces after removal from the molds.
    15:08 I'd never seen that water bath spray booth process before; but it makes sense that it would be REALLY good for dust/ overspray particulate control.
    Everyday; the dumpsters are going to be FULL of all of the the high tech consumable materials that are necessary for these processes.
