Paper Darts

On Sunday, I hooked up with Ralph and Cliff in a cold southerly at the top of the Bowl on the Mount. I was flying the JW plank and enjoying some high speed for a welcome change.



Later on Ralph pulled out his paper dart release contraption and taped it to the underside of Cliff's Fusion. This simple mechanism allows the dart to be carried under the wing and released by simply flying upside down.





After many attempts we ended with a tally of 3 darts making it back over the top of the Mount summit - last seen heading off to Karewa Island. Three more (mostly my designs) plummeted into spiral dives immediately after release :-(

Obviously they weren't in proper trim!
