DIY 'deuce' Banner Mock-up


Here’s a working draft of the banner that is coming soon, once we cross all the t’s and dot all the i’s. You can get a sneak peek at the animated version but just remember, it’s not an active link quite yet. Let us know how you like it so far...any feedback would be taken seriously.

Working on the Skyaak DIY 'deuce'

Picture shows scale of the Skyaak DIY 'deuce' ready to be hand-launched using the 'Finger-Flicker'...

This launching technique is mechanically similar to the 'atlatl' concept and adds real zest to the power of your toss.

The closed (ring) wing system creates amazing stability, allowing a precise throw that will surprise you with its accuracy. The DIY 'deuce' is a true feather-weight glider. Basically, you are tossing the weight of four paper-clips and a sheet of paper!

The DIY 'deuce' can handle very high scale speeds with ease, remaining extremely stable throughout its trajectory. This makes it ideal for co-ordinated target practice. And because it's so lightweight, you can toss it around safely in-doors.

When you reinforce the paper parts with a layer of cellophane tape, the DIY'deuce' becomes a rugged little model that will stand up to endless throws. Whatever, you can always photocopy the download and make another one ... or a whole fleet if you want!

Skyaak DIY 'deuce'... NEW for the glider model enthusiast.
