Cut wind tunnel plates to size for water jetting

abharm commented 3 weeks ago

10/30 I added holes to the side panels of the MULE and minimized the bottom ballast, reducing total weight from 9.1 lbs to 6.7 lbs. Also did FEA for one of the side panels for a static force of 300 lbs, resulting in around 12 SF, meaning more weight can be reduced.
