Editor's Notes
Previewyoutube > allow them to see the importance of planning. If planning doesn’t exist, putting the plane together would be impossible. From assembling the plane, installing the electronics, testing phase to painting their planes. Similar to classroom, if a plane isnt drawn in place, putting the plane they are building now would simply be impossible or take too long.
