If you are one of the zillions of people who have been breathlessly reading my blog you will know that my friend Bobby Bailey designed a glider to fly in the Red Bull Flugtag held last weekend in Tampa. I had to post about it one more time because his glider won!
The team he designed it for, the Tampa Baywatch, took home top honors with a final distance of 109 feet. It would have flown further if Bobby was piloting it but it still trounced the others --the second place winner only snagged 32 feet. Here are official results.
Here is a video of the flight. Actually it’s a video of lots of cheering, dancing and nonsense followed by five seconds of flying.
Woohoo! My friends rock! Tampa rocks! Hopefully you were there for the party. |
