World's Biggest, Fastest Paper Airplane

Post by The Annoyed Man »

Here is how you get kids to drop their X-Box controller, get outdoors, get interested in math and engineering again. You make it cool, and fun.

any time you spend with your kids is good time
Some parents say it is toy guns that make boys warlike. But give a boy a rubber duck and he will seize its neck like the butt of a pistol and shout "Bang!"......George Will

This is a short video of a demonstration of the rubberband-powered "Delta Dart" in the Tustin blimp hanger. This isn't the kid's competition, but adults can have fun too.

This activity is good to teach children about aviation and competition. It is good for children from elementary through high school. The Delta Dart kit contains everything you need to build an airplane and only cost a few dollars. It's amazing how long some of the can flight using only a rubber band for power. It might not be PC, because they have a contest with actual winners. ;-)
