After an arduous and secretive three weeks, the new lab has finally been completed. The komodo dragons seem to be adapting well to their new cages. Overall, things are on the upswing. The downside is that the underground hangar is a bit smaller than it looked on the initial blueprints, probably meaning that the ex-Soviet helibird will have to go. It's not as practical nowadays (slight rotar damage and pitches to left, check out on eBay if interested). I still have to calibrate the elevator shaft a bit more, the motor is little jerky. Perhaps I'll install a fireman style pole for more efficient travel.
I must say that overall I'm very pleased with the new facility. The secretive underground bunkerlike nature will be ideal for conducting the more involved experiments, while still avoiding the clostrophobic, meerkat nature of my past domicile. I wish the giant pistons would run faster because the hangar doors are sluggish at the moment, meaning an emergency re-entry could be problematic. I'll probably try to soup those bad boys up. That's what I get for ordering aftermarket Japenese pistons and rotors. If you want good stuff, don't skimp and buy German. Lesson learned.
All in all things are shaping up to be bright day in the Falcon's eye.
Resolute,
-The Falcon
