Do you remember how many winds were used?

[PCTscout]

Around 1600 winds then backing off around 150 winds.

what type of rubber band did you use to get that many winds.

Building my own for science fair :)

it rose kinda quickly...

we went for a different approach in lowering the angle of attack but lowering the front of the wings rather than raising the back; it helps a lot

[snotberg123]

I rose kinda quickly though...

[MessiahsPassion]

Very nice plane. I wish I could actually see it fly more though. No offence.....

How do you get it to climb like that? Mine only climbs a few feet then starts to glide.

[MessiahsPassion]

How much did it weigh? At my competition this year, the planer must be at least 7 ounces.
