Scaled's web site says that there is no attempt scheduled, and if there
was they wouldn't talk about it. They seem a trifle peeved.

I'd be really surprised if they tried to fly under power with so few
glide tests behind them. But of course, there could be a lot going on
that I don't know about.

I can't believe that Burt, and his financial backer, would compromise
safety and all the hard work they've put into their project for a little
think like the Centennial.
