Yes, the damn plane can actually fly !!!
The first flight of Icarus ( named after Daedalus' son of the melting wax fame) thankfully did not live up to it's name and was a resounding success.
The MECH team, often accused (behind their backs...so please NO ONE tell them!!) of delaying work and wasting too much time in frivolous stuff, have done some fantastic work over the past 3 days to get the plane ready to fly.
It was an amazing sight to watch...the plane is really stable and flies well, so thats good news for the control team.
Somehow today watching it fly I couldnt help but feel that we are a lot closer to our goal..and with a little more effort we can definitely make it in time for the competition. But anyway, that's still a long way off.
A video of the flight will be posted pretty soon.

Good news that you've been able to assemble the vehicle in a short time. Cheeky it's called Rascal though! Please upload the video when you get a chance. Your Blog update efforts are appreciated.
