I was mentioning that a box of Squirrels was shipped to Crozet Islands. They have arrived. In fact they arrived on the same boat that my new friend Wen was on. Seems logical when you think of it. There wouldn’t be regular mail service. It’s very windy there so it will be a while before we get a calm day for flying Squirrels. I grabbed a few pictures from Wen’s blog.
Polish Squirrel Instructions (Wiewiórka)
Peter made these awesome Polish instructions for the Squirrel (Wiewiorka). There are a few changes. I believe that is because the wood sizes are metric and that has some impact since the sizes don’t match the imperial sizes.
There are also Squirrel instructions in Portuguese.
Ottawa Meetup for Wednesdays
Lets have a regular meetup for making simple model planes for fun. Everyone welcome.
- General public: We can help them make a simple plane such as Squirrel, Dayton or Sparrow. If you have your own design you can try that.
- Model Plane Enthusiasts: They can come and make their own designs or experiment with other designs. I will bring a few supplies.
- Aviation Enthusiasts: They can come to extend their knowledge of aeronautics and make a cool model plane.
- Observers and Social Types: They can come to see what’s up, meet new people and have interesting conversation.
When/Where (Alert, the schedule is now flexible) Please see events.
Second and fourth Wednesday of the month (starting January 8th, 2013).
Atomic Rooster Pub, 303 Banks Street (Beer burger special too!).
6-7:30pm
RSVP
Be sure to send a note to me at darcy@siteware.com for the reservations. I’ll also know what supplies to bring.
Drop-ins are cool but if we changed location last minute or something it would be nice to have everybody in the know. I’ll try and post changes and anomalies in the comments below.
Also feel free to send me a note if you can’t make this one. We can have an extra one on a different date/location for those who can’t make it.
Dayton Testing
Here’s a Dayton R5. I will be releasing R7 soon! This was sent in from Dinkar in India. He said it was easier than the Squirrel.
