Extra: outdoor photo session

Origin:

It came to reality as a spin off from Article 01 (a suggestion from Felipe) and through a determination and a manufactoring process dign to german skunk works standards under the stressful end days of WWII . Muriel provided resources and induced most of the determination i used to fix this thing: Muriel j'arriverai jamais te remercier pour l'aide qui tu m'as donne dans cette situation absurde

Technical description:

Pitch stability comes through wings and body carrying actual profiles: they are not planar. Directional stability comes through sweep and dihedrals. Shape is maintained by air pressure. It is a full laminar flow/low Reynolds model intended for indoor flying, but you can use it outside strictly under no wind conditions.

Artistical description:

Holding this jelly/elastic thing in your hand, launching and starving as the magic happens (it's sliding through the whole available space) can change your mood for a whole week: such a thing EXISTS, life MUST be nice. Let's do it again!

Shockproof note:

BTW, the thing is less delicate than you may think. I've seen her jamming against any sort of sharp and nasty objects, go pick her up and find her nonchalantly perfect. She's just folding during the whole crash...

Each model holds unique serial number, is fully tested and rigged. Comes with a User's manual, a rigging certificate signed by yours truly and a foamy envelope.

Trimming Article 02 (from User's Manual)

Serial 008 to 013 all lined up on the tarmac ready for squadron delivery :-)

• Each Article 02 comes stamped with Aerial Creatures & Cognitive Integration logo and its own serial number
• Each Article 02 is rigged in weight, balance & shape, in order to ensure it fulfills design specifications. A rigging certificate is therefore issued, listing explicit rigged parameters, date and place of manufactoring, date and place of rigging. Finally, the certificate is signed black ink on white paper by the rigger, usually me.

Therefore, serial number and rigging certificate identify an unique Article 02

Article 02 serial No 003 is the very first Article and the very first money I've made with a product of my activity: Aerial Creatures & Cognitive Integration. I sold it to Martin and his friend in a micro, an urban bus in the chaotic Santiago de Chile, as it was driving on a main street called Providencia. Later on I'll add a proper commentary to this historical event.

Just write me with the serial number of your 02 and you will be posted with service bulletins concerning 02 improvements, etc.

Registering your serial number will help maintaining an online archive of 02 users. Kind of nice and peculiar

So far (23-01-2006), the register stands as follows

On Dec 30, 2005, just back on the coast from Santiago, i took 006 out for a ride. It was late in the afternoon and there was no wind at all. Have at it

Article 02 is juste le bonjour qui vous arrive de Aerial Creatures & Cognitive Integration
