Halloween Animatronic Winged Demon
Woody who is a controls electrician has a cool hobby! He builds custom animatronic Halloween props. Have a look at his latest creation, the Halloween Animatronic Winged Demon.

"The driver we choose to design was highly inspired from this one. The basic idea is that you
High Altitude Glider Project
Art Vanden Berg build a High Altitude Glider Project that has performed 5 flights to date. Have a look at the great documentation of the flight system and flight results. One of the issues we have seen with all of the near space balloon projects that we have featured lately is attempting to predetermine the landing zone and racing there to retrieve the cargo. Having a plane that can
