I dont think we can get anymore excited. Good luck and happy flying.

We test ran the engine today.. A huge success!!!! Nice smooth running engine. 1/4 throttle is all we went,, it was incredible!!!! Looks like we'll be ready to get her in the air in IL.

Oh yeah we have video of the test run!!!! We will get it on here asap.

Lateron, Jared Sisk

Do you ACTUALLY think that they are procrastinating?

The last thing that you want to do on a project like this is to rush it. Set a tangible timeline. Set notable achievements/milestones along the way. Then when all of those achievements are completed and you've checked it over and over and over then decide if it is ready to fly.

Hi Guys I know this is late in the thread, but does anybody recall the plane that crashed with Howard Hughes flying it in the movie the Aviator. Well I was lucky enough to be at my flying field the day that Bill Hemple was there to fly the rc model of it for the filming of the movie. They closed our portion of the airport so there would be no radio interference, and when they sent the airport cop over to tell us it happened to be a buddy of mine and he drove us over to the set in his cruiser and we got to spend the day watching, and even help lift it off the cradle and push it out of the hanger. What I'm getting at is this thing dwarfs the staudaker and yes I touched it too at the TOC, I didn't hear anything from the AMA and they didn't pull Bill's card for it . So if they do what ever was done to be able to fly this thing at a airport located in a large city there's no reason it can't be done. LET'S DO IT

Well Here is the video from the Staudacher engine run today. I am currently designing a website for our team. we will let everyone know when it is up and running.
