March-ing On


Good to get back in the saddle and overall the press from the GoFly event in San Fransisco has been favourable. There's a still a continent to travel, however ~  it's thought to have been Schopenhauer who first said that ideas evolve through ridicule and opposition, and are only eventually accepted as self-evident.

Am most proud of the fact we were the only design to have been featured on the front page of the Los Alamos Town Crier, a local newspaper that has survived seventy years despite the precipitous failure of newsprint in the face of the internet.

The fact is, with a flying phone-box we will inevitably appeal mostly to the public, although as they are the most likely to be our future customers then it suits me fine.

Henceforth I plan to reconstitute the prototype with a drone with a conventional octocopter, and accordingly I call up the Mothercare mannekin that I picked up for a song on eBay prior to travelling to California.

This baby's gonna' fly.
