Comac's ARJ21 Moves Cautiously

Apparently testing has fallen behind schedule due to the weather being too nice.  (No, not kidding.)  They are trying to perform icing tests on the commercial-class aircraft but have not had enough inclement weather to get all the required test points.  Flutter is apparently complete, but Hi-AOA is still ahead.
