Our First Glider





This short video shows a test flight we did of one of the first planes. As you can see, it doesn't fly great distances but it did reach about 3 meters or so. The plane was constructed with balsa wood with rice paper for the wings, using the rubber band propeller. We found that the rice paper was easily distorted when wet and it didn't create an optimum shape for flying.
