Check the Skyaak R&D sister site. This is strictly an experiment, in a total state of flux.
We are going to use the WordPress platform as a launch pad for the brand new skyaak.com.
WordPress has all the support, plug-ins, CSS, et al to juice up a world-class site.
For example, GoDaddy talks to WordPress. WordPress is a [...]

You can just throw your Skyaak DIY deuce exactly like a dart and get pretty good results, or you can introduce the ‘finger flicker’ advantage that increases your torque with less exertion. It’s true. When you place your index finger behind the finger flicker, and flick the unit with your finger just as you toss [...]
Yesterday (November 13th, 2008) will go down in the books as a banner day here at Skyaak Enterprises. The day started off really great as we were picked up by CoolestGadgets.com. That was quite a rush!
About 150 visitors later, we saw orders for the Skyaak DIY deuce start to appear.
That sounds great, right? Not [...]

I have no shortage of enthusiasm re: skyaak. I know for sure it’s not 1st and foremost about the money, it’s about the passion and the bliss. I know 100% that the skyaak design works. We’ve proven that time after time. The challenge now, as we all understand only too well, is simply to maximize [...]

Just a quick couple of clips from last summer that show me and a few friends noodling around with our Skyaak Model 3.
You can get your hands on the ‘trainer’ model, the DIY deuce, right now if you want to see how this aerodynamic design works.
For just a couple of bucks you can download, cut [...]
You can see the 2-D DIY deuce lying flat under the 3-D customized, doped, cut-out and built units on the left. On the right the DIY deuce is airborne a split second after it’s ‘finger flicked’ by inventor Michael Gaudet.

This scintillating video shows Dylan hot-wiring the Skyaak Ultra-Glow guts. He has placed a ‘pod’ against the disco light so you can see how the pod sucks up the LED light. This discovery lead us to invent the idea of inserting a tiny replica Skyaak inside the shaft so as it travels back and forth, [...]
It’s fairly difficult to capture images of the Skyaak DIY deuce in mid-flight because it goes so fast. What I’ve done here is grab a series of frames from a recent video and lined them up ‘flip-book’ style just to give you an idea. This shows the beginning, just the first second or so (maybe [...]
Sometimes things actually do go according to plan! Yesterday I built a box and packed up the latest prototype Skyaak Ultra-Glow …just a working name, will change…to send it flying off to Astral Media, headquarters of Z Tele in Montreal, PQ. I have been speaking with Genevieve Paradis, the Feature Director at Z Tele for [...]

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 [...]
