The testing of this little box of electrics, as small as my mobile phone, has not gone well, I regret to report. It has a tendency to overheat, and despite it's small size, it is such a complex piece of equipment that we now have to refer back to the manufacturer for more detailed advice, and more likely, a full replacement.

This means that the Solar Impulse SIA will not become airborne today and whilst we do not yet know how long this postponement will last, it will certainly be a minimum of a few days.
