Darcy, I just ran across your website, pointed there by a friend from Small Flying Arts. A year or two ago I tried to design a highly simplified beginners model, similar to a Peck ROG but more durable.. the plan is still on my website….but your Squirrel outdoes it by leaps and bounds. You have solved a number of the usual beginner problems with FF models by brash ingenuity, and the resulting model flies great and *actually looks good too,* a rarity for beginner models. Pretty incredible. I definitely salute your talent and insight. Please keep the free plan on the site, so my flying buddies and I can use it to seduce others into the hobby!
🙂
all the best
Andy

Flying at the park
Well, this weekend, I only lost two Squirrels! Both flights were great and landed high in very high trees. I also managed to catch this flight on video.
Inventors’ Association
I did a presentation on the Squirrel to the Ottawa Inventors Association.
Building a model airplane in a pub
Kathryn Allebone and I were able to prove that the Squirrel is easy enough to put together in a pub. No mess and no damage to tables because the only tools you need are scissors. Staff didn’t mind and look what nice Squirrels we came up with!
Kathryn is going to be sharing the Squirrel design with her church. I’m looking forward to pictures and flying reports from that!
