Some numbers:

- 2400m: highest reached altitude (50m higher than the desired one, 
thanks to wind and/or thermals)
- 11.85km: range reached with standard 2.4Ghz XBees (line of sight)
- 3: number of lakes seen on the pictures
- 15km: length of the route
- 2000mAh: consumed energy (3 cells)
- 80m: lowest height above the ground, while crossing the pass (2262m)
- 2: number of ground stations
- 1: number of megabytes of telemetry logged on board

Today, a Paparazzi equipped Funjet autonomously crossed the Pyrenees 
(the mountains in the south-west of France), from North to South:

Some stress while we were waiting (only 2 minutes) for the aircraft to 
appear on the GCS at the arrival and ... a lot of fun
