Akela is ready to help with construction - or repair, depending on how your first flight worked out... |

Alright, everybody got all the pieces they need? |

1st Richmond is lucky to have a strong Scout troop. Senior Scouts volunteer time as a "Kim", helping the Cub leadership team with the Cubbing program. |

It's important to make sure that the wing "fabric" is well-stretched, so that the glider will fly far and true. |
|
A heat gun or hair dryer is the perfect tool for the job. But you have to make sure of your technique - too much heat and you'll melt the fabric! |

This is really what it's all about - High Flight! |
