I tried flying squirrels but after numerous labor conflicts over who gets to
do the flying I was forced to make an executive decision and make a change.


Unfortunately the pecan/stick method, while providing adequate power, was
unsustainable for long sequences. Moreover, only the steroid squirrels were
able to endure the back to back practice flights without shorting their
overall life cycle. 

Anyone wanna try a Turbine?

You need to use pecans not steroids. Squirrels will do anything for 
pecans and the only additional weight penalty is one pecan on a stick. 
Of course you do need to reward the squirrel with extras after the 
flight which does not count against your weight limit. Also a switch to 
flying squirrels would be a plus. Then you actually get some lift from 
from your propulsion unit.

more we ought to have a high minimum weight for 4-strokes and electrics to
level the playing field; and I want a weight break because I added 4 oz when
I put ignition on my YS's.
