Too Close For Missiles - 2017 Flugtag Team

Writing checks our bodies can't cash. Follow the build of our flying machine as we prepare for the 2017 Red Bull Flugtag on Saturday, Aug. 5th!

Two engineers, two doctors, and some other guy with a dream and too much free time, present to you one of the most questionably safe flying machines this side of Miramar. If this doesn't make you want to belt out a few choruses of "You've lost that lovin feeling" then maybe your name really is Iceman.

Photos from this past weekend! Took the craft down to Amity, PA to test her out. Big thanks to Andy Baker and fam for the hospitality!

This weekend is Test Weekend! This is the first time the craft will be fully assembled and hopefully airborne! Come out to help work on the craft, watch a spectacular success (or more spectacular failure), or just hang out with some cool people at what some people (ok maybe only Andy Baker) call the greatest farm in southwestern PA! Feel free to message, call or text for more information and we will be at it all day with test flights starting around 5pm.
