I heard that a guy back in the 1400's made what may have been the first hang glider. He jumped off the top of a church spire and actually got a good bit of distance, but when he attempted a water landing a bridge regrettably got in the way.

Hahaha! Believe it or not I am the 2nd shift lead supervisor for the QA receiving inspection at Sikorsky Global Helicopters. Yea... That's helicopters. I help make them but think I'm going on a flight venture of my own. Hehe.

Actually I love my job and work very hard but around this time every year things become very very slow and there is very little work to do. It's the last quarter of the year and managment likes to keep in the black.=$

Did you working with airplanes influence you to make a flying device? Never thought I'd say that, lulz.

Rataru101 · 10-22-2009, 07:13 PM

Haha, dont think so. Actually Im told im gifted when it comes to cardbaord creations. Ive made all sorts of things. Maybe ill post some pics of my latest work for all to enjoy.../purchase?

I did see this in the paper this morning, something about a unidentified object floating in the Delaware.

~~Engineer Babar~~ · 10-25-2009, 09:09 AM

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

**Done_Fishin** · 10-25-2009, 02:41 PM

Rataru101 · 10-26-2009, 03:11 PM

hahaha! Yup im here folks, no worries. Very nice Wrench. Couldnt have been me though as I can only jump about 2 feet in the air.

**Done_Fishin** · 10-26-2009, 03:55 PM

Doesn't that depend upon just how high you are when you jump that 2 feet though ???

Well, if Rataru jumped off that bridge in the background and landed where those wings are, that's not bad going for cardboard wings
