#Santa sleigh

[myothertardisisonthemun]

Last year, I had the idea to make a Santa Sleigh I could fly beneath my drone. This ended up not happening as my computer was away for repairs. This year, I don't have that problem.

Here's the cad model, drawn up based on some clip art I found.

Everything needs to be outlines to minimise air resistance, and keep it as light as possible.

As you can see, this Santa is being made with an Australian twist.

Here's the Santa in print:

And the first "Boomer" (Kangaroo)

Several hours of printing later, and it was time to stick it together. Wanting strength, I used skewers, even though they were a little thicker than I originally planed for.

I'm balancing the roos on the back, to make sure

It must be wide enough to not confuse the drone's downward sensor.

The morning of Christmas Eve, I awoke to this weather forecast.

I proceeded with final assembly anyway. There were gaps in the clouds, it was only bucketing down some of the time.

The strings need to be equidistant from the balance point, and all the same length.

Launch has to be done very carefully. Going to have to fly very smoothly to prevent twisting.

It flies!

I took it down to the park.

Here is the view from the air:

Maybe if the weather holds, there'll be people in the park to see it.

Merry Christmas!

The Blizzard of ’78 and the Chetwood 500

Groff Media 2024© Truth Endures IMDbPro Presented by benandsteve.com By: Benjamin Groff II© 3 minutes The Blizzard of ’78 was no ordinary snowstorm. It howled through North America, blanketing rooftops and highways, erasing the horizon in a swirling fury of white. Santa Claus sat in his workshop. He held his red velvet hat in his hands. He stared solemnly at the weather reports brought in by…

this might be a British Thing but does anyone remember those santa sleighs that would slowly drive down your street, blaring christmas music and you could donate money? as a kid, I loved watching that

December 12th, guess who came around the street. Half way until Christmas day, checking all the children are being good.

Keep an eye on the sky for the arrival of the Reindeer Days team!

I'm so happy you could join me in welcoming my friends from the north pole! We spend all four seasons getting ready for our Christmas Eve journey, which is my favorite flight of the year.

I love the night trips the best, because the stars don't sunburn my nose. But I still join any time there's long distance travel, because everyone has a gift they bring to help the whole team come together.

Some are fast, some are strong, some are smart, some caring, and some (like me) just really love geography! I plan our routes and navigate to make sure we reach every house on our list before the night is up. I hope you'll leave some carrots out for us on the roof!

See you tonight, and Merry Christmas!
