Flying at a farm in India

Gallery,

Here are some pictures from Dinkar in India.

He mentioned “jowar grain wood”. I am waiting to find out what it is. It may be this.

It was fantastic day for me. I went to one of my relative’s farm. I
collected some children and made squirrel using domestic material
sitting under a tree… there was no table, I used large aluniniun plate
as a platform… children enjoy it for nearly 5 hours. They asked me some
questions, I tried to answer them.

School project report

Gallery,

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

Model plane experiments in school in India

Education, Experimental, ,

My new friend Dinkar who is a school teacher from India sent me these pictures today.

He made these wings out of thin bamboo. He says they didn’t work and he feels it’s because the bamboo was too thin.

It’s pretty clear he is resourceful and I’m sure the kids are excited about this project. They should be receiving their genuine Squirrel kits in the mail any day now. I hope they enjoy them! If anybody would like to donate, I’ll send them another box of goodies.

Thermo col (foam) wings

Education, Gallery, Sighting,

My new friend Dinkar in India sent some more pictures. He’s trying different materials to see what happens. I think this is very constructive since the children will learn to be resourceful. Actually I think this will work if it’s cut much thinner. It may need a spar for the wing.

Today i used thermo col wings to reduce weight of squirrel,but it
didn’t worked.Propellers  that you used are not available in my
nearest town.We all eagerly waiting for parcel.
