Model plane school project
I received these photos from my new friend Dinkar in India.
He introduced the Squirrel model airplane project to teachers who are in training.
School project report
Here are some lovely pictures from Dinkar in India.
It was wonderful & amazing experience for us to see squirrel flying in
our school. Children enjoy it. Video shooting isn’t possible on mobile, so I will
send you video shortly. Here are some pictures for you. Tomorrow
children will make squirrels. What I say about squirrel is – “Simple
structure with high performance”. Have a good day. — Dinkar Narwade
Beaconsfield Heights Cubs
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.
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.
