Sparrows in Montreal
I hopped out to Montreal to make some Sparrow model planes with some Cub Scouts in the Kirkland area. The original plan was to make and fly Squirrels but it was breezy so I decided to make Sparrows.
I must say they are easy to make.
I didn’t get any good video but I managed to land one on that roof across from the field (see pictures). I included a video of the Sparrow from another flying session so you can get the idea how much fun this is.
Stands for Model Planes
I made up some stands for Squirrels a while back. They made the Squirrel-O-Rama workshops a lot more fun. They were a little heavy since they were based on a block of wood. Great for functionality but bad for me to carry a bunch of them to an event.
Here’s a new stand! I will start bringing them to our meetups!
Squirrels in France
Here’re some shots from Marion in France who is making Squirrels in preparation for doing it as a workshop for children.
She made her own propellers.
Squirrel Spotted
Came across this project. Apparently the kids tried various kits and materials. Looks like they also eventually found the free instructions for the Squirrel.
