A few days ago I caught a quick thing on the News about an upcoming test flight of the Pearce Flyer. Since then, I've been sick as a dog, with a temperature and a cough, so nights have been rough -- combining my heart medication which causes 'vivid dreams' with a fever means that my brain just won't stop at all. So last night, while I was asleep, I completely rebuilt the Flyer a number of times, dealt with dozens of production problems, and finally got it ready to fly.

Today I checked to see how the flight went -- in real life -- and apparently it was delayed. However I am looking forward to seeing how this works out. This guy has done an amazing job, he started with the engine, and then decided to just keep on going.

Here's the Herald:
