Description
This is my version of a glider. I have printed and tried many other versions and they all seem to kind of perform poorly. I decided to try to make my own and it works ok. I had some pretty good flights out of it. I can't seem to find the perfect technique to throwing it though.
Occasionally it would float across the whole living room, and other times it would nosedive. So, I think its operator error.
I made a slight variation to mine than I haven't seen on others, I added flaps to the front wings. I also tried to bring back the center of gravity slightly. I bent both front and rear flap upwards maybe 35 degrees.
I hope somebody prints this and gives it a try. If you have any advice or feedback, I'm welcome to making changes on it to see if it will better it.
