The Canadian da Vinci group unvailed their X Prize craft in Toronto
today and announced that they will make their first of 2 X Prize
flights Oct 2nd from their launch site in central Saskatchewan.

I'm a little irate about the DVP press. The idea that they are announcing an X-Prize flight without having made a single solitary test flight is just absurd. The "flight testing" that they still talk about on their web site was microcosm's testing of systems that DVP was originally intending to use, but they aren't even using those any more. I suppose that they have an obligation to their sponsors to maximize media coverage, but it just strikes me as dishonest.
