Blowing Bubbles

Here is Joanne Parenteau with Marie-Elise and Peter Epps with a Squirrel. It's pretty clear that she's been blowing some bubbles and helping the kids with their Squirrel. I had the pleasure of building a Squirrel with Joanne on one occasion and with the Epps children on another occasion. They kids sure look like they're having fun.

Joanne has also made a brief video (below) with tips on flying and handling a Squirrel. It's a pretty good video. It shows a few successful and unsuccessful flights. Her analysis of the flights and the corrections that were made. She also shows her shoebox storage system. There is a funny looping flight with the wing on incorrectly as well.

She's also mastered the art of taking video and launching a Squirrel at the same time. Not an easy task and she does a great job of it. Take a look at the video she made below and a few pictures she submitted. The pictures of the kids are amazing! Enjoy!
