Squirrel is visiting the El Salvador Festival on September 1st.
There will be workshops for children. 1500 people are expected at the festival. I expect we will have one or two workshops for children (and adults).
I am looking forward to cruising around the festival. It’s in a large area so we can fly the planes!
I went in 2010 and had a blast!
Check out the pictures below.
Anybody game to come?
I met up with Lloyd Shales the other day. What a great meeting.
I’ll be sharing the ideas we shared over the next few days.
Lloyd shared an amazing idea with me. He’s been using adhesive tape to attach wings on Squirrels.
This:
I’m going to take a closer look at this for the Dayton project! Dayton is a new design I’ve been working on for some time. The plan was to release it before winter. It may be out sooner!
I am warmed by feedback on the Squirrel since model aviation has always been very dear to my heart.

The Squirrel is now part of the AMA and Air Cadet programs in USA.
I look forward to supporting youth and mentors making Squirrels and other simple planes!

Hello Aviators!
Here are the latest happenings! I wasn’t going to send anything till the end of the month. But I’m recruiting for people that want to come and try out the Sparrow (by Lloyd Shales). http://www.rubber-power.com/tag/sparrow
We will meet at a pub, make the planes, eat and have a drink while the glue is drying then hit the field. The field is adjoined to the pub. Feel free to bring your other creations! Contact me for details and prefered times! I’m planning on doing two of these events. I’m going to so some sort of recruitment outside the model plane community so if you want in, act now. 🙂
Feel free to bookmark the blog http://www.rubber-power.com/blog.htm to see the details of this event as it happens!
I am changing the format. Please send me ideas. I’ll make a blog post of the new proposed format after I receive a bit of input. But I have some cool ideas!

Don’t forget I am still doing local delivery and pickup of Squirrels in the Ottawa area.
We’re getting lots of good weather so it’s an opportunity to spends some relaxing time with simple model planes.
This dog (Kingston area) ordered 20 units and he looks like he is very excited about it.
I am aware that this breed of dog likes chasing things so if he can figure out how to make the planes he is in for a treat.
