E-Day a success, report finished, and first flight scheduled!!!

With everyone's help we were able to complete Prototype 1 in time for E-day, making for a successful event! A special thanks goes to all who lent their hands and minds to the design/manufacture of the plane as well as setting up for E-Day. We had lots of visitors throughout the day with a lot of great questions and received tons of support. It was great to see all the people stop by and wish us luck on the competition, and admire our creation. Here are some photos below from throughout the day:




Also another major milestone has been passed with the completion of the competition report. After many sleepless nights and contributions from several individuals (including Dr. Smith and Dr. Lebeau who helped provide several revisions) the report was submitted Monday March 1st with one day to spare before the deadline. All thats left now is more prototypes, and continuous flight testing!!

On that note, the first flight has been scheduled for Monday March 8 at approximately noon. The results of the first flight are being anxiously awaited, and will be posted as soon as possible!!

Thanks again for all your support!!
