Flip-Book look at DIY deuce taking off

It’s fairly difficult to capture images of the Skyaak DIY deuce in mid-flight because it goes so fast.  What I’ve done here is grab a series of frames from a recent video and lined them up ‘flip-book’ style just to give you an idea. This shows the beginning, just the first second or so (maybe less?) of its trajectory.  It would be nice to get some video of 2 players from the side to capture more of the aero-action. That is totally on my wish list right now. It’d be great to see how it spins on its axis for example, and how it describes such a tidy arc when flicked. But most important, how it happily maintains a certain balance and equilibrium even at very fast scale-speeds.

I think that is the coolest thing about the DIY deuce is that no matter how fast it flies, it seems to behave itself. This is due to the stabilizing effect of the ring-wings that is enhanced by the corkscrew motion.

You can see for yourself when you magically convert your PC to a Skyaak vending machine! In just a few minutes from now you can try it out for yourself for just a couple of dollars. If curiosity has gotten the best of you, indulge yourself in this fun project and you will witness the cool aerodynamic properties of the Skyaak ring-wing design first-hand ! We have designed the DIY deuce specifically for you to try it out without spending any more than two dollars and a bit of your own time at home. Why not give it a shot?

BTW, we’re in the process of organizing a CONTEST that will reward you in a couple of categories. First, we’re on the prowl for good video of the DIY deuce in action! That is a no-brainer. Creativity and clarity will figure hugely into our decision re: winners. Second, we want to see what you come up with in terms of your customizing ideas. There are lots of different ways you can add personality to your DIY deuce…coloring with various mediums, stickers, decals, you get the idea. (Just remember to keep it basically weightless because you will still want your model to fly.)

So watch this space for more details on this in the coming days. YOU could very easily qualify to win a professional Skyaak Model 3, valued at $29.99, shipped *FREE* right to your door anywhere on the planet. But you have to start off by working it out with the DIY deuce.

As a reminder, when you download the DIY deuce, make sure you make a photo-copy of the original before you carry on to dope it with clear tape, customize it, cut it out, build it and launch it on its maiden voyage.  You will want to keep a ‘master’ on file so that you can go ahead and make more copies to build a whole fleet if you want!  The object of the DIY deuce is to get the design into your hands for one affordable investment of $2.00 so you can experiment with the design endlessly after that. CREATIVITY and FUN are the fuel that will drive your Skyaak experience.

Looking forward to working out the details of the DIY deuce Design and Documentation Contest…and to hearing from you!
