Kevin Kelly on combat gliders

Over on the great new Geekdad blog, Kevin Kelly writes about combat gliders.
200703261214 Combat gliders have no motors, no self-power, and only two simple controls: one flap on each wing. They are made of bamboo sticks, plastic bottles noses, foam board wings and duct tape. They are virtually indestructable, which is good, because the object of their existence is to knock other planes out of the sky.
