Skyaak DIY deuce as aeronautical model?
Thursday, January 15th, 2009
My coach keeps coming back to his insistant reminder, “How’s 30-Day Challenge going?”
To which up until lately I would respond, “Picking away at it.”
However, in the past little while I have been taking deep long hauls of the heady stuff.
For a while there I really thought my head would explode.
Let me back up a bit.
A month or so ago my friend Fred sent me “Tribes” by Seth Godin.
I devoured the slim but delicious morsel in three evenings.
The over-arcing theme in “Tribes” is that boring is a no-no.
If you can’t create a least a flutter of excitement, then stay home.
Ask yourself, “Am I ready for the big girl panties?”
C’mon, can you create original content or not?
Or do you just pass stuff on, shuffle stuff around?
Hot off the press:
This morning I got an alert that a person had bought a Skyaak DIY deuce.
(Several actually but let’s focus on this one in particular.)
That’s the download-able Skyaak ring wing glider if you are just joining us.
Turns out the guy is doing research on ring wing drag.
He googled that term and arrived at this blog.
From there he clicked to skyaak.com and grabbed a DIY deuce to check it out.
He then told me that he is an aero/mechanical engineer and was curious to see the deuce.
So my friends, at this very moment there is an engineer tossing around a ring wing glider in his lab, observing the curious aerodynamic properties of the design.
Makes for an interesting day here at Skyaak Enterprises.
