Wings Across America 2008:\u00a0 The Journey of the SQuiRT, The SQuiRT Itself<\/strong><\/p>\n

The SQuiRT, (Simple-Quiet-Robust-Trainer) an electric Park Flyer model was selected the best choice of a model to ship around the country as part of the Wings Across America 2008 event due to its sturdiness and simplicity.\u00a0 The WAA-08 SQuiRT was donated to the project by the designer, by Bill Stevens of Stevens AeroModels.<\/p>\n

The SQuiRT suffered at least one major crash and some minor flight mishaps and traveling problems and needed a few repairs while on the road.\u00a0 Overall, though, the SQuiRT survived the journey in great shape.<\/p>\n
