Conclusion of Flight Test # 1

2 planes were tested on a adequately windy day along a grassy clearing in Golden Gate Park this afternoon.

Results can be summarized as the following: FAILURE

Starfire Glider was DOA. The tail had a fatal error which rendered adding the back wing impossible.

Jetfire Glider was intact, but either did not find flying conditions adequately windy or else there was some sort of unknown pilot error.*

Either way, this disappointed airwoman only noted 1 long-ish flight and a pitiful handful of short glides. All other attempts can best be described as valiant efforts up followed by quick drops down. (...crash.)

On a positive note, the enterprise today did work up an appetite for dinner. Or at least the bike ride home from the park did.

Jet-Steam Easy-To-Fly Rubber Powered Airplane with Landing Gear and Air Force One Boeing 747 Glider (The President's Flying Oval Office) still remain to be tested. Er, flown.

*Both Starfire Glider and Jetfire Glider are described as "Easy-To-Fly," a notation this Scientific Examiner finds to be not only highly misleading, but incorrect.
