The overdue update

So I didn’t work yesterday, but was negligent in updating, so I’m taking a bit of time today to update.

Things have been very busy here, only starting to slow down last week. I am really far behind and will be trying to get caught up over the next few weeks. Last weekend we finished the latest delivery of our software, which is pretty much ready for first flight in October. There are a few minor tweaks remaining, but we are pretty much good to go. Last Friday through Monday were booked pretty much solid with delivery preparations and paperwork. After Monday, things slowed down a little bit, but was somewhat interupted by a trip to Yanliang (near Xi’an) so  I could perform another delivery for a different aircraft. This delivery was much simpler and start to finish was less than two hours. Yanliang is a nice place, smaller at about 200,000 people, and quieter than Shanghai. As this is where most of ARJ21 flight testing will occur (to our knowledge at this point), I may be spending quite a bit more time there in the future.

That’s all for now – I’d better get back to going through my emails.
