It sure will feel like flying once Wairua 2 gets to the top speed of 880km/hr. The cockpit is a cocoon for those that can handle small spaces. Streamlined to perfection to allow the wind stream to be used to maximum performance. It doesn’t look much here, but be sure the finished model will have all of the wind speed shape and paint application to accurate specification to get to that speed challenge of 880km/hr CMR has set.

This was the fiberglass mock-up, used to finalise the shape and form ahead of the final carbon fibre item being made.
