wildfire 09

During tests last wed an anomaly was uncovered(I believe tail incidence) that requires understanding before continuing with the testing. Not a serious issue ,may require moving tail incidence but will prevent completing test program before reno this year.For our supporters were sorry and keep the faith,this is really a huge undertaking

Re: wildfire 09

Thats a bummer dave for you and the team, but good to find these things now so they can be solved before getting on the race course...

Re: wildfire 09

So, Wildfire has flown?!! That's awesome!! Great to hear!

T-shirts have to be available. I've had a Wildfire hoodie for two years now. Maybe Wildfire can make it to Reno to just be on display and dispell all the doubters? A t-shirt booth would look nice in front of her parking spot!!

I'd buy a cool T-shirt even if the plane isn't there. Airworthy first then follow with speed. Thanks for the update Dave.

I believe you can purchase WILDFIRE apparel from thier website. I purchased a WILDFIRE T-shirt a couple of years ago. I wore it at Reno and had a pilot ask me if the team members were there. I told him that I wasn't on the team, but that I had bought the t-shirt to help/show my support for the team.

Best of luck to the WILDFIRE team on the remainder of the flight testing.
See you at Reno in 2010!
