Our first weekend in the new year to work on Cygnus

Last weekend was another weekend to work on the Cygnus. First we checked what kind of work has to be done on the different bikes. We still have a lot to do, but now we have got a clearer idea.

We have been busy to strengthen the Cygnus Alpha with the use of honeycomb paper. If this turns out well, we can also use this technique on the Cygnus Trike.


We also made a start with making a mold for the extra lids. This way it should be possible to make seperate lids for the different riders. And then we can experiment properly with the size for the air inlet, etc.
