I’m working on a collection of projects but one that seems to be surfacing is this flying banner project. The working name is “Voice”.

I have a working model without the intended tail. I am very pleased with its flying characteristics. I did a couple of test flights in a constrained area then damaged it (I didn’t glue it properly or wait for it to dry). But it’s pretty clear this thing has roll and pitch stability.

The next experiment will be a 12×24″ (30x60cm) version.

I felt that reflex was tricky so I did something different (that I’ve been thinking about for a while). I raised the first 2.5 inches of the leading edge. Sort of like the opposite of reflex. My friend Michael suggested I call it “Preflex”. I like it.

There is a small collection of issues to work out but I’m excited about this project.
