FliteTest Visits MESArcFF

To the FliteTest Community,

October marked one of the greatest months for the MESArcFF program, according to the students, the hard work has paid off, Josh Bixler from FliteTest comes to check out what we are all about.  We were so blessed that Josh and Lee took the time from their busy schedules to make the trip to visit. Marshall and the students had a blast, and the two teams discussed future plans for a partnership that could lead to something amazing for our hobby and its educational impact it can have on students.  

Josh and Lee took their time listening to every student and their crazy projects, from kit builds, to fixed wing designs, multirotor designs, the business side and much more. The students rose to the occasion sharing their builds, who wouldn't, its FliteTest! Some star struck, struggling with words, most though confident in explaining their steps they took in the Design process of the solution to their problems, it was an amazing experience for both parties to witness and be apart of.

Watch the episode as Josh talks to the students and flies one of our lastest plane design by the creator himself, 8th grade student Ashton.  On behalf of the MESArcFF program, thank you Josh, Lee, and the FliteTest team for making this happen.

Looking forward to the future!
