Beaconsfield Heights Cubs

Cub Scouts, Gallery

I just did a hop out to Montreal to visit Beaconsfield Heights Cubs in Montreal.

The last time I visited this group there were only eight! The workshop on Friday night had 33 people in it!

I was amazed by how many volunteers and parents came out to help. It was fun for the kids and the adults.

The kids were very keen and with all the help from adults it went very smoothly.

I think this group could handle anything.

If anybody is having any trouble with their plane, don’t hesitate to send me a note. If you send me a picture or video that will help me to figure out if you need any adjustments, parts or repairs.

Here is some instructions on how to fly it. Here are some videos on how to repair it.

Here is the Squirrel record. It’s a over a minute. Feel free to send in any videos of attempts on the record. I’d like to start a page showing the top 10 flights.

“That’s the best simplistic design I’ve ever seen. The only way it could get simpler would be to make a flying wing which would’nt be as easy to fly. It looks like success is guaranteed with your design. Your trick with the tiplets is a great anti-dihedral solution. This is the same principal the FACers utilize to get our biplanes to fly with NO dihedral. We take celluloid and mount it against the vertical interplane struts. Works just like having dihedral! KUDOS!…” — Duker

Great picture from Montreal

Here’s an awesome picture of a Squirrel from Adam from Montreal, Quebec. Adam made this Squirrel from local material after following the video instructions!

Here are his comments:

The wind came to Montreal. It was very windy on tuesday. I finaly tried my squirrel yesterday and it was awesome. There was still a bit of wind so I didn’t twist the rubber band too much. I could enjoy a couple of nice flights. I was very impressed of the smoothness of the flights. Here is an inflight photo. Has you can see I added some decorations to the plane.
