Right now the major issue is getting a single circuit board built. I
think we have the particular problem delaying it taken care of now.

We've had considerable turnover in the group. Not a single one of the
original flight controls members is active in flight controls. We are
still moving ahead, even if at a turtle's pace.

The good news is that once the circuit board is built, we can start
debugging and flying.
