Big day today!
"Production" tube #1 completed!
Final weight?

25.4 ounces!!
I've updated the spread strap design to be cleaner and more integrated, and I've added a couple of grab handles to carry the thing.

And to celebrate I built my own "Ferrari" of tubes:

Unfortunately it is actually 1.4 ounces HEAVIER that the blue one! Oh well, what price cool unmistakable one-of-a-kind uniqueness?
Maybe I'll start drilling "lightening holes"?
I was going to try to maybe take it out on its maiden voyage tomorrow, but with the smoke from the fires blowing up the range, I think I'll stay home and work on finishing up the rest of the run I have going and maybe get some work done on some fins as well.
I'll probably try to get out again on Labor Day, perhaps...
