We added some battens and luff lines to the glider, which seemed to help quite a lot. The polyester cloth sail is still not ready, but we're working on it. The plastic sail has held up surprisingly well.

This slight was about 45 m long at an average speed of around 30 km/h.

  • battens run from the leading edge to trailing edge as anti flutter protection...did ya hear that flutter,thats the sound of ipending death.

    next comes uncontrolable dive and osilation.

    lufflines are anti dive device from king post to rear of battons.

    just spent a little more and buy a glider that wount kill ya ok .PLEASE.

  • We got plenty of out-of-control action of of the glider. Mostly it was impossible to turn when it started veering to the side and responsiveness was low all-round...

see all

  • how long did it take to make that and what material is the glider

  • Hoi!

    Kas te kusagilt internetist leidsite kaasehitajad, kes on kogemusi jaganud? Kas pole tekkind mõtet rakendada lohe jalgratta ette? Arvan, et tõmbaks üles küll.

  • yada yada yada yada yada yoo... Super!

  • I built something that looks very simular using PVC. Can't wait to fly it.

  • Nice! I am thinking about trying to make a homemade one to fly into the water...Does anyone have suggestions on how to do this without it being too expensive? I'm just a kid. :D

  • What materials did you use?

  • This is much better. Great job
