Toothpick Gliders! ALRIGHT!

'Scuse me if I get excited, but these deserve it. These are gliders, designed and made completely by me, Ben, made only of toothpicks, 28 lb paper, and superglue(maybe some clay but it isn't required so doesn't count) They all fly extremely well, although my longest recorded flight is 4 seconds, count that out in your head right now and imagine a small cluttered house. Here's some pictures!

This is my imatation of the well known Fokker Dr.1 Triplane
This is.... somewhat random.. But flies very well!
This is my speedy little racer. It's such a joy to fly!
This is a historic replica of the Langley Aerodrome, flies BEST!
This is some random boring mono-plane that flies.. so-so
Haha, alright, this is an AutoGyro, gets lift from wind hitting the propeller, spinning it, and.. gets.. lift....... Doesn't work so well in miniature :-P But still fun to fly(or try)!
This is a somewhat-replica of the first plane to fly in Kentucky, very smooth slow glide.

AREN'T THEY AWESOME? lol. And the best part of all iiiiissssss.. YOU CAN HAVE ONE TOO! They're so EASY and CHEAP to build, I made a tutorial and put it online here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Introduction_5/ Enjoy and pass to any friends you might think like it! Or any huge school groups wanting something fun to do in an empty gym! !!! !!!!    !!!!!!        !!!!!!!!        !!!!!!!        !!!!!!!!        !!!!!!!!

Wicked cool stuff

So, I've been pretty good lately :-) yesterday there was horrid wind, litterally blowing power lines down, our power was out from about 7:30pm-1:30am. Anyway, Just recently I got some awesome stuff! :-P Including tiny airplane that barely works,(nicknamed "peice'o crud") HUGE diamond that makes me so happy to own! lol, it cost $8 at walgreens. And me being the cheap-o I always am was looking in the reject slots of change machines, and long behold ) found $1.80 in canadian, a 1957 spanish(I think) 5 ptas coin, and a 1912 US penny!!! It amazes me any of these are still hangin' around in people's pockets!!! WOW!!!!! what fun :-) In the past I've found a 1943 steel penny(made out of steel because the war effort needed copper) in the same manor.. Which was awesome :-) Anyway, here's some pictures!

The circuitry on the airplane is from a Airhogs "nano hawk" I tore to shreds :-P as is the motor system and battery and rudder control... But this stuff is so awesome! yay!

Love,

Help Arrived ^_^

So, over the last weekend, my bestist friend in the whole world visited me for 2 whole days!(it's rare, she(yes, she) lives 438 miles away..) That has cheered me for the time being, and lifted my idea of how much the world even knows I exist :-) I'm happy now!

haha, wtf is goin' on? Well, my evil little brother threw a sheet over us......*no complaint*

Umarmungen,

News, of silly and lonely life of Ben!

So yes, I believe my life somewhat silly, I live all alone out here with little more than an evil chicken for company(they go for the head, it's scary) Thusly, I shalt distract myself with my skills until help arrives! I still attend a unicycle club weekly, which is also sort of mixed to juggling, and has high ceilings to juggle in. I've been learning the Impossible Wheel, I device probably made up to make riding a wheelbarrow easier, only the person who did it was drunk so removed the legs... My records on this thing are maybe 50 feet across the floor, unasisted completely. I've also been working on the skill of juggling 4 pins, which is a BIG heap harder than 3. As for unicycling, well, I've been getting a consistant one-footed backwards AND I can do unicycling tricks while juggling, such as idles, one-footed ride, wheel-walking, backwards :-) My skill progression has slowed due to winter(duh), but I am progressing slowly! Gymnastics class (which happens in.. oh, 11 hours) has been going good, the teacher's hilarious :-P And I can now do a double-leg on sprung floor. Now, I mentioned help arriving, it will do so tomorrow in the form of a very cute (and smallish :-P)17 year old girl, her sister, and they're parents :-) (If you're desperately trying to tell me something, wait until sunday night, seriously I'll be "busy")

NOW, Some PhotoGraphs! And MayBe A ViDeo! I Love ImProPer CaPitAliZaTion!
