HOT OFF THE PRESS, RED BULL AIR RACE, MALAYSIA 2014!

Breakfast at 6am sharp and the Team was off to the hangar to assemble 14KN! We have a driver in Malaysia, thank goodness, they drive on the opposite side of the road! Jet lag plus opposite side of the road equals disaster!

Jason wanted to get an early start to avoid some of the heat…at 70% humidity, it can get pretty stifling. Major components installed including the wing, before 9am, success! Lunch time and the plane was more than half way together and the temps were already in the 90’s, talk about hot! Wondering how Kirby’s going to do with the G-suit? We went shopping and found a huge fan that barely fit in the car, score!

With some luck, Kirby will do a test hop tomorrow! Stay tuned!
