Apartment Flier Walkalong Glider

This walkalong glider is made from 1/32" thin 1lb styrofoam slice. Mike flies it in his apartment (air conditioning is turned off to minimize drafts). It has the jag leading edge characteristic of Mike's designs. He claims it slows the glider down and improves stall characteristics. More info at:

A link to a page titled "Jag Wing Walkalong Glider Design..." has been added to the info of this video for a web page listing directions on how to make the jagwing... even with free spinning propellers.

how do u make dat

[zsurfer]

This design is made from the lightest styrofoam sliced very thin. A note on the smooth air in the apartment: the air conditioning was run for a while (July in Wichita) then shut off. This creates a temperature inversion between the cool air from the AC and the air warming up from the walls. Stable air equals smooth air.

[MrMiko99]

@florindoes you can't make it out of paper because it's heavier but you can try making it from phonebook paper. I hope that helps.
