Welcome to the Official Team Web Site for "Running of the Red Bulls" entry in the 2003 San Francisco Flugtag (german for "Flying Day") This annual event is hosted by Red Bull, Saturday Oct 25, 2003 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. where contestants build home-made flying machines to see who can fly the furthest. It's non-stop entertainment as 30 teams compete for the grand prize.... a pilots license. (or $7500 cash) You can't miss us, just look for the HUGE red bull! See you there.

KRON's Vernon Glenn or "Mr Involvement" stopped by the gym on Tuesday (Oct 14) to take a few jumps on the teeter board. Vernon passed with flying colors as he soared jump after jump. He did so well that we even thought about having him join the team as a back-up pilot (just in case...) Video online now!

Tech Tv's very own Chris Leary joined us for yet another eventful build day on Sunday (Oct 12). We dazzled the film crew with our mastery of carpentry, technologically advance construction using space-age polymers, and ancient mayan meditation techniques. The video will be up soon, but in the meantime here are some pics.

We would like to extend a Special Thanks to the following individuals, organizations, and businesses that have helped us along the way. Your support has been instrumental in the successful completion of our craft! Thank You!

How much has this cost so far? Thinking about building one yourself? This will give you good idea of how much it will really cost. The total grows faster than California's deficit - updated 10-28-03
