	There are couple of pedal planes I expect that the one in Concord was project D�dalus. They usually fly at sunrise at Hanscom Air Force Base. The group is from MIT, with support from local companies. I think that they were the ones who were going to try the famous flight from Crete to Greece. There are other planes from the west coast designed by McCready who I think is at Caltech. Those planes were named Gossamer Condor, and the Gossamor Abatross. They were the folks who made the English Channel crossing. -Jeff Bell
