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.
Good job, Erin. 44% over design weight is no small thing. Another step closer to being finished. I will be praying for tomorrow’s test.

I was wondering how big this plane was. Flying it looks so small. But, with the person next to it – WOW! It is huge! Glad things went well. About your test tomorrow – YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! We have great faith in you!

That might look huge to you, but I don’t think I would fit…

Elyse says: “That plane is HUGE!” There is alot of people who signed up for it.
I’m not sure what she means, but she always wants to add a comment. Just think – she is always thinking about you!
