Skyaak Model 3 an Athletic Device

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

I’ve been working out with a guy named Evan Reiffersheid here who has proven to be an exceptionally great Skyaak enthusiast. I have been quizzing him quite extensively and here is what I am finding out. More accurately, he is simply confirming what I already know after all my experience with Skyaak.

Evan says, first [...]

Skyaak developer Dylan Cooke shows the latest Skyaak R&D advance, an LED light array that enables night-time play.
The request from the Feature Producer at Z Tele for a Skyaak ‘Ultra-Glow’ sent me scrambling into Saskatoon over the weekend to hook up with Dylan, who you will remember is one of the key developers of the [...]

Skyaak, Canadian Ring-Wing Glider Demo Video

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

After I posted the video that shows the “Ultra-Glow” model in Dylan’s hands, I realized that you might actually like to see the Skyaak in action, being thrown and caught between real people in real live action.  It’s pretty difficult to imagine a glider gliding without seeing it…airborne.
This video was produced about three years ago [...]

Skyaak Model 3 and DIY deuce pkg arrives at Z Tele

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Earlier this week the Feature Producer from Z Tele, with Point Virgule Communications in PQ checked in to let us know that the Skyaak pkg we’d sent had arrived safe and sound in her hands. She says she built it “easily” and that “it was fun!”.  So far so good. The producer then went on [...]

Skyaak DIY ‘deuce’: It’s better the 2nd time!

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Trying to decipher and figure out the design of the flat version of Skyaak so you can cut it out and build it is, well, quite tricky your 1st time around.  There’s no denying that. Unless you are a mechanical whiz-kid, you will find it fairly…how do I put this…strange.

I am here to tell you [...]

What’s up with “mentors”?

Friday, September 12th, 2008

I don’t know about you, but I have heard the word ‘mentor’ bantered around lots. What is a mentor, really? I think it is a person, living or dead, that you find for some reason or another to be a source of powerful, life-changing inspiration. This might be due to the person’s story: he [...]

The Skyaak design: not as weird as you think

Friday, September 12th, 2008

When you end up staring at the 2-page download that features the new Skyaak DIY ‘deuce’, you might think it appears incomprehensible at first. How, you will likely ask yourself, does such a strange-looking diagram end up getting formed into a ‘ring-ring’ glider? I’d be the first to admit that it is quite counter-intuitive at [...]

Skyaak flying off to Z Tele, PQ.

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

It’s been a while since I last posted anything here…been very busy with design projects and studio renos. Just got a call from the owner of NewdaVincis.com a couple of days ago with a request to send a couple of Skyaak Model 3 units to a TV producer with Z Tele in Quebec [...]
