Anyone could help me? Im out of idea's. I made a large triangle shape base but i just dont know what to put over it so it can fly. Any suggestions on a base for the egg holder and a base for the flying device, and what kind of string i should use. I cant use duct tape nor peanut better or that kinda stuff. I can use masking tape tho. HELP!

Ahhh I won one of these competitions a few years ago for using the lightest material.
 Use a big and light plastic bag (make sure the material is thin enough) to act as a parachute. Tie it onto your base. And for the base, I suggest you to make it spiky so that your egg won't break easily. Like a sea urchin:  Straws would be good (I used them last time) between they're not that hard and somehow flexible. Use masking tape to stick loads of straws sticking out in different directions but MAKE SURE that it won't roll when landing. Good luck with it! |
