2nd Batch

I'm a bit happier with this batch.

The swimmers actually swim (at least in the tub).

But you can't make an omelet without cracking some eggs. There were a few rejects. Threw my pencil poppers in the tub and they float. Too much wood and not enough weight in the rear.


Dropped the little silver popper in the tub and it sank. May have to lose the rear hook.

Nothing I can't fool around with and improve.

Already turned five more for my next batch.

good stuff, and poppers that sink, will still do the trick, like rr2 said, good when the winds in your face and it's ruff, just crank it in faster, it will get up and do it's stuff
