Humidity was finally low enough to get some painting done. It still needs another layer of clear gloss, but already the fins melt into the body.

I've been working on the custom parafoil, and named it the Steerable Recovery Parachute. To save on weight and volume it's not a true full cell parafoil, but a ribbed tri partitioned sail. More information to come!
