The ZoomNShoot.bas Script
This script should work on all CHDK-cameras that have zooms. It provides a run-time parameter, c, which if set to 0 (the default) will provide zooming for A- and SD/IXUS- cameras, while if it's set to 1 will work on S-series cameras. In either case moving the joystick will move the zoom a reasonable distance. The script uses the set_zoom_rel function to move the zoom by a number of steps, 2 steps for A and SD/IXUS cameras and 25 for the S-series

Borelli's Glider

The Kite´s name is Borelli´s Glider. The design was made by Nelson Borelli. He is Argentino but live in USA. It's a very good one line indoor kite for beginners and advanced pilots. Very detailed plans are available on the BatoCo website. Worthwhile to give it a try.

I only tested it in the living room and it is floating and gliding very well. Turning wasn't that smooth; Due to the size of the room and kids and dogs running around. Secondly I was missing the bended spreader of the Urban Ninja that keeps the bridle away of the sail.
