Cool New Skyaak Action (Video Clip!)
These guys are summer neighbors of ours. You can plainly see that something is going on here with the flight characteristics of Skyaak. The 'Ring-Wings' come to life in the hands of a young Skyaak Master, who can cause the ring-wing flier to rapidly spin on its axis.
This spinning action greatly enhances both the loft and stability of the craft in flight.
It is very cool to see this aeronautical principle in practice, out of the lab and in the field!
It bodes well for the positive incidence trajectory of the project.

Hey Michael,
Sorry I haven't had much time to chat lately. Time has been kinda short, working the two jobs and also with my girlfriend moving in at the beginning of the month.
I really like how this video shows the 'flight correction' characteristics of the Skyaak. You can see it in the first few throws specifically, where it seems to be about to veer off course, but then corrects itself midflight and continues on it's original trajectory.
I will never tire of this toy, even when my life is as busy as it is now. I continue to be just as captivated by the aerodynamic properties of the Skyaak as I was when I first chucked one through the air.
I hope life is treating you well Michael. Hopefully we'll be able to hook up soon, we definitely need to have a sit-down for a few hours and catch up some bit.
Take care!
Dylan
