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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
