Vision prototype photo
This is the Vision prototype designed/built by Steve Rahm in USA. and still being supported by Pro Composites Ltd. in USA. The aircraft is a 2 seat side by side, scratch built from a series of manuals. Built entirely of fiberglass and carbon cloth material the builder needs to know or learn some of the easy basics of composite construction. Building began Feb. 1998 in my spare time with 7 years where no building was possible. Building Hours at February 28, 2022: 4248.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Some short videos of flights are at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfxJXIwvmfNlNF3gwplFw7Q

Wing Root fairings - upper
Began to build wing root fairings for the upper portion of wing. I was looking for a way to do this that would not take to much time and effort as it would if foam were to be carved for shaping this section. I used small 4 inch sections of double poster board to form the shape. This worked well but I will have some filling to do on the upper surface due to stepping of each posterboard section onto the next.
Upper surfaces glassed with two layers of cloth.
