Greetings,

I am forming a team of R/C builders,and any like minded person to help beet the current R/C Solar Powered World Altitude Record. I am in need of many people of different disciplines to help accomplish this goal. The record attempt will be in Southern California. I am fortunate to have found support but I have a long way to go. The more people that get involved the more we can do for our charity. All proceeds from the record attempt will go to local charity. If you are interested in lending your talents to the project please contact me. You can read more about the record at www.FliteRecord.com.

I just want thank all of you who have visited our site and gave your well wishes. We are making progress towards our goal slowly and this is going to take a while only because we wish to raise as much money for our charity as possible. There have been some great updates to our blog site. You can now show your support by adding the "I support solar 4 kids" badge to your social networking site and help raise awareness. You can also now make a secure donation to our cause with our donation button. There are bigger things to come so keep checking back.

Thank you to everyone who has commented on this record. Just to clarify our record attempt is for a model aircraft not uav so the ceiling is much much lower. The Helios was a great aircraft but we are not competing against it. You can read more about our record attempt on our site www.FliteRecord.com.

We are still looking for talented individuals that live in Southern California that want to get involved and become a champion for our cause. We will need all sorts of people from pilots to builders. Shoot us a message if you want to volunteer.
