I also helped the team Ross Flyer by manually correcting the scale of the plans. And why was the plan scale incorrect Jim? Hmmmm? (Those wheels were clearly the key, too)

One launch all three gliders touched down at the exact same time. This one is not that close, but still close.

John decided to spend two weeks building one to the insanely low (indoor ruining) weight of three grams. Rob and I decided to build one the night before the event back in the lodge. This model was completed in less than 90 minutes, start to finish. John did help, by 'building' the wheels, which took him the full 90 minutes I think.
