From years of experience making the traditional designs with adults and children I realized that there was a big trade-off. The offerings were either poor flyers or are highly complex to build. For an amazing experience you needed a great deal of skill, time and special tools and apparatus. So I took the simple model plane and the mentoring methodology back to the drawing board with the following intentions.
Model Airplane Design Objectives
-Increase accessibility of model aviation to children and adults by creating simple designs that fly well, are made from common materials and are easy to build.
-Provide mentorship and support to model airplane novices, workshop facilitators, school teachers, Cubs, Scouts, flying clubs, model airplane clubs and other organizations.
-Promote model aviation, creativity, productive play and general problem solving.
