Teaching a dog to roll over is easy compared to a paper airplane. Mike has an arm. I believe he can help break the records. The planes will have to be re-engineered for him. What was working for me at Moffett Field on the first testing day; my modified design from The Gliding Flight; was not rolling over so nicely for Mike. The extra power in his throw was warping the wings on the way up, changing my dihedral angle just enough to defeat my roll-over trim on the winglets.
The Stinger and The Plane From The Gliding Flight
We had a 19 second flight, which looked pretty good, but we couldn’t consistently get a clean transition to flight mode from launch.
Power doesn’t solve everything. I feel like someone has just handed me gunpowder. I understand that a solid rocket engine might be possible. How do I keep things from just blowing up? How do I control and direct the power efficiently?
I spent last night re-working my designs.
This Just In
Given enough time, I might find someone with the right finesse to launch the planes from my books into the Guinness Records. Right now, the best deadline strategy is to make the plane fit the thrower.
this guy is awsom !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i want to lern how to make theroll over
