More Forty-9er Progress

All kits have been tested and the forty-9er portions reorganized for ease of assembly.  Project Leader Matt now  has the kits again, except for one:  that kit’s owner is soldering it together to check for assembly issues. This will not delay kit distribution.

Forty-9er Kit Build (cont.)

We now have a reliable parts list for the modified Forty-9er part of the kit, based upon both the information contained in its schematic, and the prescribed modifications thereof . Lack of this list had been a major barrier to prospective volunteers for final inspection and testing .

The first kit is now tested and re-assembled. When six kits are ready, they will go back to Project Leader Matt. The seventh is being soldered together in order to discover any assembly issues.
