Progress has been made on the design fabrication and installation of a tension carry-through linkage between the aft parts of the port and starboard wings to resist forward bending deflection on the RP-2 sailplane. In addition, towhook/release mechanisms, landing gear and wheel brake assembly, compound curved sandwich composite fuselage shells and an enclosed trailer to house and transport the complete disassembled aircraft, have all undergone various stages of design, fabrication, installation and testing.
