Hovercrafts

In the past week we have been making hovercrafts. I have been doing it with Austin, Logan, and Kyle. We changed the original design because it didn't look like it worked. Our new design works but its a bit heavy on one side. Even though its not balanced it still works, but nothing is really connected.  Then today i even made my own little one. Its not that good but it makes a good fan. I also figured out that the fan blades hurt if you shove your finger in it.  (but it was still funny)

Here is our actual one

Here is my little ghetto one

Kites

This last week we have been doing kites. I was gone for a day so I didn't have much time to find a design. After a while of searching I finally found one. At first it looked like it was going to be complicated, but it turned out it was a really simple design. It was called a sled kite. The hardest parts was trying to get the cuts lined up so it matched. That was pretty much it for last week and I shall have more stuff to talk about next week.

Flight

In the last week we started to make paper airplanes. I made a couple of good planes that flew really well. The only bad part was that none of them would work during the competition. One of them had amazing hang time, but it didn't want to work when I wanted it to do. I tried making a plane that would work amazing but it was to hard to make. Actually most of the good planes I found it was really hard to do all the folds on them. So I guess thats why they are supposed to be really good. At the actually competition my planes didn't do that good. When the planes decided to work the competition was already over. Well thats it for this week so I'll see you next week.
