Two teams at XtraChallenge

Valencia, day one of the first XtraChallenge. We took this photo right after passing technical inspection, and we were the first team to do so.

That year we travelled as two teams, UVigo Aerotech Vol. 1 and UVigo Aerotech Vol. 2, each with its own aircraft. LIGN-0 had a conventional configuration: with it we wanted to keep learning from the classic model aircraft. MOBULA-0 was the experimental bet: a flying wing with a foam structure, very light, and flaperons. It didn't turn out the way we hoped, but we learned a huge amount along the way.

It meant a lot to me. The best part was seeing a whole season's work here, in a single photo.
