after 5 months of hard, banga work (sorry, no offence), the setup is finally done. the spires are mounted, the planks mounted, the roughness fetch done. the roughness fetch, which are done by painstakingly drawing lines and then gluing the cubes on the plywood 1 by 1 looks so beautiful on the wind tunnel floor. after all the delay.. the computer crashing, the manometer not working and being inaccurate. real data can finally be collected.. whoo hoo.. not much time left. hopefully everything runs properly and smoothly this time.. =)
