The Flying Squirrel
From the age of nine Darcy Whyte dreamed of flying planes. The former software designer explored his passion for aviation art and science, and in 2005 developed the
Squirrel, a unique rubber band powered airplane.
The Squirrel’s distinct aerodynamic features allow the plane to fly hundreds of feet powered only by a common rubber band. It’s easy to build and requires little skill to fly, allowing just about anyone to take to the skies. And the Squirrel retails for under $10!
The inventor himself is an affable guy who delivers fun and informative workshops for educational and recreational organizations. Check out his

X-Ray Launch Party and Benefit!
X-Ray’s been around since summer and it’s time for a party. If you’re in Ottawa, please join us at Brixton’s pub on Saturday, November 13th for
X-Ray’s Launch Party and Benefit. The party starts at 9 and there’s a $10 cover to help keep the magazine alive. We’ll also be launching our reader-funded-advertising initiative by raffling off three ads (promoting the charity, company or community organization of your choice) valued at $300. But enough of the pitch. Nov 13. Let’s Party!
