My Red Bull Flugtag Team
My Red Bull Flugtag Team and a contest for you!
We were asked to participate and assemble a team this past spring for the upcoming weekend in Long Beach. Long story short, if you in and around the Long Beach area this weekend we will be sending it off the Long Beach pier with our own flying machine that we have been working on now for the past 2 months… 
Anyway, any bets on if she will fly and if so, how far? The winner will get a free T shirt and hat…AND WAIT there is more…if you guess the distance and make it to our fly-in in October you will also get a free case of beer 
Why not make it interesting anyhow.
Here is our craft and team photo. There is a fan favorite vote and thats very easy to do. You can text in a vote to 72855. Our team number is LB17. The easiest way is to go to the website and vote online. http://www.redbull.com/en/events/1331590594102/red-bull-flugtag-2013
Thanks for your vote and lack of confidence in our craft… 
Im betting we are going to get real wet in front of a 110,000 people and we may go 50 feet or so…
Our design comes from a kit called “the pig”. The local EAA group here has helped us on design as well
