This probly one of my coolest projects so far. it is  a little chalengeing once you get it right it is realy fun to fly. this hang glider uses the air wave of an object and rides on it. you can use cerreal boxes, posters, cardboard and even your hands(once you get good). here is the link to build yours:http://sites.google.com/site/controllableslopesoaring/ have fun! 

longboarding rack

I havent updated my blog in a while but i thought i would make somthing. i had all my skateboards on my floor so i thought of makeing a rack. i bult it out of pvc pipe and conectors glued it together and this was the result.

I still need to hang it up but its otherwise done.

My newest rc car

Its the new kid on the block. with a brushed motor and 1:18th scale size you'd think it would be wimpy. NO this is 4 wheel drive truck that goes 30 Mph. it comes with a pretty nice pistol controller and full shocks. this car is made by Megatech RC; a kinda off brand RC seller but they are OK for beginners. I got this for 20 bucks and got the battery and charger for 10. It used to be 80 for the car and 20 for the battery and charger so I got it on sale. here are some pictures.

Cathlic heart work camp

This past week I was at CHWC. this a big organization so kids can help out people in need. My group and I got along very well. I made some new Friends and met a lot of people. some of the things I did were painting bathroms and doors, mulching, cutting and clearing. there always is a fun evnig and afternoon program every afternoon were we watch videos, play games, and sing (ug.)
I had a great ime but unfortunetly I did not bring my camera to take pictures.

Messy but works

Part 2 building a pop pop boat

1. You will need a soldering Iron for this step. or something that can poke a very small hole. like a screw driver (small)

2. make a coil out of some aluminum or copper pipeing. You can get this at a hardware store or a hobby shop. 4mm works best. Most people use copper But it realy dosent matter. But, dont use brass tubing! Verry carefully wrap the pipe around the pvc pipe. make shure you have plenty of tubeing they will kink if your not carefull.

3. burn a small hole ware you can wiggle the coil's ends into snugly.

4. put the coil into the two holes.  stick about half an inch of tupe out of the other side. Make a mark inside the boat in the middle of the coils, this is were your heat source will go

5.make a sort of bowl out of the tin foil and glue right on the mark you made

6. so it looks like this.
