Here is a video of Hanetama (lit. “Winged Sphere”), a RC flying balloon object with flapping wings, from Tyoukogatalabo’s (loosely translated as “Micro Flying Object Research Lab”) YouTube channel. He says he used 4 servomechanisms and controlled it with a TARANIS transmitter. He has also uploaded videos of all sorts of other fun flying things, like a cat-shaped ornithopter. (He loves cats.)

A Package from Gakujinsha
We received a package from a Japanese non-profit Gakujinsha. It was full of fun traditional Japanese toys. One of the toys is Daruma Otoshi. It demonstrates Newton’s first law of motion. Check out the video to see it in action (originally from Gakujinsha’s website http://bit.ly/2A8EGUe).
