The is the low wing version of my second beginner's kit, the Satellite. When I have decided which version of the Satellite to kit, I will have all three of my beginners kits, the Plain Plane, Satellite, and Double Trouble on my web site by the end of the month. Having a little fun preprinting my tissue with waterproof ink.

That is just plain cool. Very nice!

I thought that I had a production prototype all sorted out but it did some strange things at the O.F.F.C. Predicted Time/Spot Landing contest last Wednesday. It flew fine in dead air but modest breezes discombobulated it. I had to put it on the balance rig and go back to the math to make sure that it was simple for anyone to trim. A few subtle changes (You probably would not see them in a photograph.) and now it's balancing with no ballast and flying outdoors nicely. I will check the indoor performance at the O.F.F.C. meeting tomorrow. If all goes well, I'll cut one more production level prototype and if it is trouble free this weekend I will have it available on my web site next week.

Here's a video of it flying. I had a good flight indoor, chasing the penny planes around the ceiling...made the penny plane fliers nervous, but somehow I screwed up the video. We were chased out of the gym because they were setting up for the pre-schooler's lunch (gotta love summer vacation) so I got an outdoor flight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xk8Ypfxbtfo?rel=0&
