[Giacomo, Deepak]
After spending Monday collecting (chasing?) missing parts and Tuesday installing helicoils, today we were able to start (and finish!) some real assembly work. In particular we assembled:
- 6 HAUX towers, complete of almost all accessories
- 12 pairs of blades supports (including blades already paired for each suspension)
- 6 optic holders (excluding the magnets retro-fits)
We encountered virtually no problem. The quality of the attached picture is bad, but should be good enough to show the progress.
Tomorrow we will likely spend some time re-applying FC to the optics; then we'll proceed to the final steps of the assembly.
I'll refrain from optimistic forecasts about the completion of the job... :-)
