Hi Sabrina,



It sounds like you are doing really well.  Perhaps you should find a 

tougher school that can really challenge you.



I'd help you out with the iPhone app, but I don't have one of those 

things.  I'm afraid there are not a lot of people over 30 who do .  I've 

been seeing people argue over the relative merits of Apples vs. PCs 

since before you were born.  The fight continues, but now it is iPhones 

vs Android.



Hang in there,



Paul

 Hey Guys!



 MIT is treating me well!



 Last year, I produced this video:



 http://alum.mit.edu/pages/sliceofmit/2011/08/23/video-features-airplane-building-mit-student/



 This year, I have raised my overall average to 98%--my Physics average is 100%.   To give an idea of what 100% means, the average on my most recent exam was 66, the standard deviation was 17.



 MIT  is really cool, we actually have Nobel Laureates in Physics as our TAs!  (Not just as our professors.)



 I am heading to Europe at the end of May to work at CERN, meet with the Czech manufacturer of the TJ100 engine that should power my next project--N5887Q, and for a week long meeting with 31 Nobel Laureates.



 A team I am a part of here at MIT has designed an iPhone application for that Nobel Laureate gathering in Germany.   Since all our Beta testers are teenagers, I was looking for some adults to give the application a test drive and give me some feedback before we introduce the application to the Laureates in July.



 Here is the link:   http://ISawYouMIT.com



 If you are over 30 (the older the better!), please, please download the application, give it a try with some of your friends and send me your feedback at: Fermilab(at)MIT.edu



 Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!!



 Your little buddy,



 Sabrina, age 18

Just wondering if Nobel Laureates only carry iphones or if there's a 

droid app out there too?

Thanks. I don't use those things but I have a friend, who is over 50, 

who is an IT guy and does. I'll nag him to send some feedback, one way 

or another.

 iPads, from what I can tell, but you have a good point.



 We are working on the Android version.  When it becomes available, the link will be:

Sabrina,



Sounds like you passed your statistics class! 



Since no one else has asked, what is your new project (N5887Q)?

Your design or a kit?

 a light, single seat jet



 the turbine costs $35K+ in the US, I hope to pick up a timed out core in Germany, pick up the rebuild kit/tools in the Czech Republic, and go from there...



 Has anyone flown Easy Jet in Europe?  Their airfares are less than the taxi ride to the airport, what gives?

Very cool idea, Sabrina.



I hope you are planning on working on your pilot license along with 

building the jet.  You can't fly one of those things without a current 

instrument rating.  That means you need to earn the rating, stay 

current, and do an annual Instrument Proficiency Check.  All of that is 

so you can fly in class A airspace where a jet engine starts to be a 

little bit efficient.



I'm glad to hear you are doing so well.

 My design, which includes a dynamical system to stabilize/control small aircraft w/o the need for control surfaces (hopefully.)



 I tried to sell the concept to Boeing (in exchange for a donation to MIT), they turned it down, but at least, as part of my summer 2011 employment contract with Phantom Works, I retained all patent/design rights (don't ask for the details, please.)



 At the point I tried to sell it, I had not completed a single MIT Physics class, a lot has happened since then.
