Almost there! The large blue structure, vaguely resembling a cannon in
the center left of the picture is the sting support system on which our
replica will be placed. The two NASA employees on the scissors lift
are working on the balance, an intricate and highly instrumented device
that measures the required six forces and moments.
Installed! Careful inspection will show the pad that we had to use
to mount the replica to the balance, below and slightly to Orville's
right. This photo also clearly shows how large scale models are
installed in this facility - through the roof! Prior to running, the
upper doors of the tunnel will be closed making this a closed-section
wind tunnel. Finally, NASA project manager Pete Zell can be seen in
the lower left hand corner of this picture.
