It's a Frickin' Flying Shark!

Okay, there's been a lot going on which I have to blog about, but I'm wanting to get something up, and this seems timely.

In honor of the recent release of one of what must be the Greatest Movies Ever Made for a Minor Cable Channel, that masterpiece of cinematic excess, the incomparable Sharknado (google it, if you've been living in ignorance), I present The FRICKIN' FLYING SHARK!

Download it, size it to fit 8.5" x 11" paper, print it on card stock, cut, glue, assemble and throw as directed. Make a passel of 'em and you can create your very on whirling cyclone of carchardon carchariases, aka Great White Sharks.

You will need something to weight the nose, and you may have to fiddle a bit to get a decent gliding action, but it will fly.

And it's just in time for the next showing of Sharknado.

Aren't you happy now? :-)

P.S. If your friends want this (and of course they will), please send them directly to my blog to download their own copy. Yeah, it's a shameless way to build viewership, but hey, where else can you get such an awesome shark glider for free!

P.P.S. A few tips:

The glider may have tendency to stall. You can adjust this by making a small slit in the rear of the wing centerline (or making the slit in the fish itself longer towards the rear) and sliding the wing backwards, or by adding more weight around the nose.
Also, a gentle wrist throw will be much more satisfactory than an arm throw. Think "light toss" rather than "big hurl."
