A little squirrelly but no damage.

If I was building again new, I would consider replacing the BT-50 skeleton with a BT-50H.
(You will have to sand out and slightly widen the openings in the 3D printed parts).
My N-1 toppled over on the carpeted floor and the core got bent.
Will repair and maiden at the first opportunity.
I need a big field.

That video is of my N1! Doesn’t really need that big of a field - it’s quite heavy and didn’t go all that high, even on an F (see video).

I totally agree with the reinforcements. Mine had also been knocked over and bent at that same location too. I took off the lattice, epoxied the heck out of the joint, put it all back together, and it seems to have worked well. Would’ve been better to have been reinforced from the inside, though.

You've got some cojones my friend.
I'll wait until we get another opportunity at Aloun or somewhere else.
Until then, small fry at Waipahu.
