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.
Jordan Loreto of San Clemente, California used the Squirrel design for a school project. Here he is showing his class how to make a Squirrel.
“Here’s the attached video and pictures, I love this design, and because it is so quick to build, I used it in my 8th grade report on “rubber powered model aircraft” where I built one in front of the audience. Thanks for such a great design!” — Jordan Loreto
I also received these two pictures of a “Tandem Squirrel” and the above amazing video from Jordan. I must say that it has to be the coolest modification I’ve seen! Flies very well too! Very stable and slow. It’s nice to see this as a school project and also to see such constructive creativity! Great job Jordan!
