Red-Eye Flight


Under a mostly full Moon, & gentle late night panhandle breeze (approximately 3 to 5 mph crosswind I'm guessing), my older 2 sons & I snuck out (& have for the last several nights if truth be told) to test our latest aeronautical creations. Shhhh! Our little secret (wink, wink). Oh well, it's Summer. Live a little. So sue me.

Our latest highly temperamental creation is called the Omniwing. You can learn how to build your own by going here http://omniwing.com/

Experienced multiple gratifying flights (particularly when launched off the top of our vehicle). Even Kael's PL-1 http://www.josephpalmer.com/planes/PL1/PL1.shtml which took a licking from our neighbor's sprinkler system a day or so ago, still performed beautifully I am pleased as punch (whatever that means) to report.

So there you have it. Quiet, low cost entertainment at its finest. Wooden shoe agree? ;0)

Night-night.
