Subject: TARC Initial Flight Update

Teams:

By now you should have completed the following:

NO LATER THAN February 1 

• Test-fly your initial TARC design (without altimeter), making sure that you leave time to redesign, rebuild, and re-fly by April 8 if this initial flight/design is not successful! 
• If your first flight is fully successful, test-fly again with stopwatch timing and the altimeter installed. Repeat test flights until you hit the design targets. 
• If your first flight is not successful, do post-flight failure analysis and re-design.

Please make sure you are sticking to your program schedule so you can complete a final qualifying flight by April 8th! Also, make sure to update your progress on your team information page (use the password in Step 6 of your Registration Confirmation Email).
