Guest Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 After finally arriving at a workable UR700, I can see why they scrapped the design. Using an N1 variant is a lot less convoluted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a tricky decision, either design may make some unhappy, I do not really want to support separate alternatives (snug fold + normal fold + sun tracking + static + shenzou panels) 8 variants! 8! Can also do different style entirely solar panels that fold tighter to fairings? Edited August 31, 2016 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
