Flight Log - 2012-09-03 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Applewhite MicroMaxx Pinwheel

Carded freebie from the Art Applewhite site. While 65 lb. cardstock is recommended, I used 110 lb. stock. Print, fold, glue and fly! Easy glued Origami style build. This one looks like a childs Pinwheel toy. The white Pinwheel on the left is the MicroMaxx version.
