The key changes are:

  • Updated design to reflect build improvements
  • Change to IAM/IPT file format
  • Clearer Bill of Materials

The airframe is simpler, tougher and more repairable than before. For example, it includes a completely redesigned tail and wheel section to address weaknesses discovered during the build process.
