• Parts (including surgical tubing) for the sheet-based self-steering system have been purchased (thanks Serge!)
  
• Broken forward hatch parts are on order (thanks Nathan!) - the hatch does close, it's just that it is a bit leaky, nothing major and nothing that can't be fixed with duct tape in the short-term, so not an issue for LongPac
