We finished 33rd out of 60 teams. Apparently, only 47 even passed spec tests on Friday. As mentioned in the previous post, we completed the first mission successfully this morning. The second mission attempt, which we flew at a weight of 23 pounds (all calculations were initially performed at 16 pounds…max), was flying but was very unwieldy (kind of uncontrollable when it had to turn 360 degrees), so it was landed with minimal damage. The team is heading home now.

Mission Successful

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

My plane took off, made two laps in about three minutes, and landed WITHOUT a crash this morning! That is the first mission. The second (loaded) will be attempted later on today. :)

I am very excited…I’ll let you all know what happens when I hear further from my team. Love y’all!
