Letun's Osprey II project

The unfinished design of the Osprey II aircraft came into my hands. This device was built in the USA a long time ago. Then he came to Russia, where he was completely disassembled and in it a large number of elements were made of composite materials. And some parts were designed and made anew.

Can someone recognize their project from the photo?

Airplane completely disassembled

The compartment where the chassis was retracted was completely redone, it was sealed and protected from water.

The entire tail of the fuselage is converted into a sandwich construction with the manufacture of flanges to which the upper deck will be glued. The trailing edge of the wing was removed, the same fate awaits almost the entire center section structure.

All-New Composite Tail

Control wiring

Flanges prepared for the upper deck sticker

The deck is glued and is preparing for pasting with fiberglass on top

The next approach is to change the center section

The tail is hoisted and the fuselage is nearing completion.
