They participated in “Schüler experimentieren” (which is “Jugend forscht” for kids under 15y). A picture is shown here (Engl. translation). AFAIK a major tyre manufacturer supported them but let it eventually disappear into a drawer. | |

| May 5, 2014 at 1:05 | comment | added | MK Yung | So if gyroscopic precession is an issue, does it have the same effect during take off? | |
