Following some test flights yesterday (May 11), studends and teachers at the University of Maryland in College Park will try today to liftoff and hover in ground effect with a 101lb quad-rotor pedalled by a 107lb althlete named Judy Wexler.

Click this hyperlink for a live feed starts at 11am east coast US time this morning.

Last night I posted a story showing a test run, which will be similar to the action today.

Good Luck U of M!
