We’ve Made Great Progress! Your Gifts Keep Our Team at the Top of Our Game!
Thanks to all our incredible donors and sponsors, we’ve already raised nearly 30% of our $10,000 goal to help deliver our team to competition next Spring! Every contribution from families, friends, and supporters along with corporate partner, Salient Motion, has helped propel our team toward success.
We’ve made substantial progress so far, having finalized our design cycle and fully transitioned into manufacturing. We have completed construction of our tail components, are preparing for fuselage manufacturing, and have begun purchasing electronic systems to bring everything together in the coming months.
We aim to finish final manufacturing by early February to have ample time to test and ship our aircraft more than 2500 miles to Florida for competition.
Every dollar makes a difference, and our team of dedicated engineers wouldn’t be here without the support of those around us! Thank you for contributing to your community and the future of aerospace, let’s keep the momentum going!
As we approach Giving Tuesday, we ask you to please consider sharing our ZotFunder campaign with your network to help us reach even more supporters!
Wishing you rest and relaxation this holiday season,
Best regards from our Cargo Plane family to yours!
