Removable Winglets which can spring up and down

I've created an alternate design for the winglets that make it easy to carry your Squirrel with you in a small box. I call it the "Briefcase Squirrel".

Here are a few details on how to make it and how it works. The winglets are attached by a small elastic band such as the ones women use for their hair (often found in dollar stores). It allows the winglet to spring up and down.

If you can't easily find small elastics here is a way of making them:

Here are some shots of the prototype.
