Saturday morning we hosted a group of home-schooled families for our monthly meeting.
Mark prepared a session on aerodynamics,
beginning with some basic explanation of a cut-away Gulfstream poster.
He discussed basic aviation principles, and showed some great video clips to demonstrate the concepts.
Then the group built their own gliders, models of the X-1.
After a series of test-flights and suitable adjustments, we had a competition to see who had the furthest flying model.
It was lots of fun!Here's the happy third-place winner with his
faster-than-the-speed-of-sound X-1.
Amy wasn't able to join us, since she came down with pink-eye the night before.
Please pray for her as she continues to recover from a multi-symptom bug.
