I teach in the Jersey Shore Area School District, a technology teacher at the middle school. Jersey Shore is landlocked in central Pennsylvania, a hundred miles away from New Jersey and even farther from the Jersey Shore, but otherwise well named.
Over 250 6th grade students make the plane each year.

We are having major success with the Squirrel. Each 9 weeks I get a new group. I have just started my third group, but only my second group to build the squirrel. It is also an integral component of my Young Astronauts program. Our best time for the kids is 40 seconds. I only have those Midwest Delta Dart props at this time and plan on using the gray props next year. We really enjoy this plane. I have allowed kids to built several each during the nine weeks. Students shoot for the record each Friday with two launches each. Great fun!!!

This fine specimen showed up at the ORCC indoor flyers group in November 2005. It is owned by Peter Kramer. Apparently it flew very well.
Squirrel Spotted at the Science Olympiad in 2005.
This picture was sent in by Fred Tellier. I took this picture of an enlarged squirrel used as a Wright Stuff model at the Michigan State Science Olympiad.
