A great initiative. Coincidentally, I was just reading the literacy/numeracy scores amongst young (and not so young) adults in the UK, Australia etc and I think that projects like this can only help address our collective deficiencies in science, engineering, maths and technology. In a lot of the western world we are now at least two generations into a science teacher stream with (too often) little or no real competence, or real interest, in the field. Projects like this one warm the heart. Success is certainly possible. I noticed a local school in Perth has built and flown a very nice looking RV6A.
