Ottawa Business Startup Blog mentions Squirrel Model Airplane!

Scott Lake is a successful entrepreneur living in Ottawa, Canada.
Startup Ottawa is a blog run by a consortium of entrepreneurs.
Flying Machines mention
There was a brief review of the Squirrel at the Flying Machines Web site.
Weight less than 10 grams.
A really perfect design:
simple, easy to build and it flies very well!
The biggest problem for me was to “translate” the inches into metric measures.
The building itself is VERY easy and takes less than 1 hour.
