Rogallo development continues... tonight an attempt at a micro supercapacitor powered wing. Also done a bit more work on the 1m span prototype.#FreeFlight #Making #MessyDesk #ConcretedogsFlightLab

Still making iterations of smaller Rogallo wing models as well as working the larger one. I think this one is ripe for some extra development as it flies/glides very nicely. I made a slightly more complex frame with dihedral but tbh the flat frames that are simpler work well. #FreeFlight #Flight #Prototyping

Test inflation of the new "Octopod 1" design... I already want to go a bit bigger! If you're interested in these SUPER BUDGET flying balloons I wrote a piece in @Raspberry_Pi press Hackspace Magazine in Issue 61. #making #ConcretdogsFlightLab #FreeFlight https://hackspace.raspberrypi.com/issues/61

Gone a little clickbait with this title.. "EVIL Helicopter attack leads to annealing #3Dprint hack".. but do check out this video about annealing and forming 3D printed propeller blades for a small #freeflight #airplane.

Another flight from today, this one a foam plane powered by rubber motor. Great flight recovering well from clipping a roof girder! #Freeflight

One of the #prototype supercapacitor #airplanes doing a wide test lap in the gym today. #freeflight #making

I've been building some #freeflight, supercapacitor driven, planes for an upcoming #HackspaceMagazine article. Was almost calm enough to test fly this one outside today! But not quite! Hoping to indoor fly this weekend! #electronics #making

I only came across laminated style paper aircraft a couple of months ago. After building a few from plans this one is my first attempt at my own design. Shows promise but room for improvement! #FreeFlight #PaperPlane #VinylCutter

Been exploring an older book about paper airplanes that includes lots of laminated designs. I scanned this one and got my vinyl cutter to cut the cardstock.. flies well! #FreeFlight

If you want to see a real oddball #TinyPlanes how about this one. Powered by a capacitor/motor power pack designed for #PaperPlanes This #FreeFlight one is 190mm wingspan weighs the square root of not a lot and flies for about two minutes. It will reach the roof of an indoor basketball court, and flies a consistant reliable circuit.
