Gettin' Jiggy With it!

So last night, and trip number two to The Home Depot, I purchased a new jig saw, flush router bit and some MDF. I had actually bought a Black & Decker jig saw the day before because it was cheep and they didn't seem to have the DeWalt one I wanted . After testing it out I really didn't like it but, to my surprise I found the one I wanted  in a product display and it was on sale for only $5 more then the B&D one. It works so much better! It's so smooth. Anyway, last night I made a jig to cut out the plywood support ribs for my wins. I was able to get the jig built and over a dozen ribs cut. Tonight I hope to get the rest of them cut. 

Red Hot Flyer Redux

It's  official the wiener will fly again! The Red Hot Flyer II been accepted into the 2008 Red Bull Flugtag Chicago. It has been nearly five years since I entered and competed in the 2003 Red Bull Flugtag Chicago with the first Red Hot Flyer. Now that the nervous excitement has started to subside I must get busy planning the construction of my bi-winged flying machine. I will keep you posted all along the way with this blog so, stay tuned.
