Got to 37ish minute mark and watch 'em layup and autoclave a Delta wing..

And remember that next time you think a fincan is difficult. They're walking on it and cleaning it with a dustmop?

Up to 90 layers thick in spots! Peel ply looks pretty insane also.

I swear I would lose my patience trying to make one of those wings.

For reals, doing that with a wet layup would have been worse. It sucks that the aft wing ended up with wrinkles.

I swear that was a lot of money down the dumps.

Bummer. I thought this would be about basketball layups.

You'd have less drag with a fastskin suit and a shaved head, but as long as ball ejection is at apogee, it should be a good flight.
