Yesterday's work and what was planned changed.

Wanted to finish the F106. Looking at all of my rubber band powered 3D Profile models got me to thinking, instead of a huge fuselage why not try just the 3D profile version.

Spent yesterday sitting at the computer re-drawing my YF22 model from years ago. Updated to the F22.

Will finish my work on the F106, and since the last sheet is printing will start work on the F22 next.

Been thinking about all of the models I've made and sold on eBay. There is a market but it isn't really that huge anymore.

Rockets are fun, but kids would rather play on their cell phones.

Kites have a strong following. Lots of the people who fly also design build their own.

Lots of programs on the web explain and also calculate to help design/build your own kite.

I plan to sell these paper model kites on eBay once they fly. Will have to mold/make all the fiberglass and buy the carbon fiber, they will be fairly expensive. Ink alone costs $9 per sheet when printing the 24"x63" [60.96cm] x [160.02cm] sheets. F22 is will be 60" or 5ft long.

More to follow.
