He was technically blind, but his tenacity was high-carbon steel quality. The aircraft that classified as a model aircraft was to be less than 2 kgs AUW, which finally made it in about 16 hours across the ocean. Very inspiring. He died few years back.

Post by: K K Iyer on November 18, 2019, 08:27:53 PM The aircraft that classified as a model aircraft was to be less than 2 kgs AUW, AUW 11lbs or 5kg, (the FAI limit). Not 2kg! A story to inspire young Indians thinking of solar powered long duration models. Trans Atlantic flight done 16 years ago! |
