A few weeks ago, Arantxa came back with a piece of fabric from school that had some wood sticks taped to it. She told me she has made a hang glider and I did not give it a second thought.
This is what it looks like.

Some days later, she announced that she wanted to try it out. She went out with Pablo, and got her helmet on. Pablo was just following along to see what she would do. He says she suddenly had a disappointed look in her face the moment she realized that the hanging frame was too small for her. Phew!
He quickly suggested that they try it with a bear instead.

Here is the video showing the brief flight.
She is really thinking about this flying business. We have talked about it and we have to remind her from time to time about our conversation. For any attempt of trying to fly, she has to start from ground level, and essentially don't jump down, not even from a chair. (She jumps off chairs/sofas all the time but that is not for flying).

I am so impressed that it occurred to her to build a hang glider! How does she even know of such things?? I'm also glad she has a good head on her shoulders and didn't leap off the roof!
