My new project is to learn how to design & build foam gliders. More specifically with a design criteria of under 250 grams using Dollar Store Foamboard (or hot wire cut foam). Would like to start a discussion. Please jump in if you are interested...
My latest design will come in around 240 grams with a 46" wingspan. See attached.
Look forward to your thoughts and ideas......
Jeff

Very nice! How will it launch? Slope, electric or bungee?
