- This video demonstrates the construction process of a simple chuck-glider that is inexpensive, easy to build, and made from common materials. This video also demonstrates tips and tricks to optimize the glider's flight performance. The glider can be reconfigured and customized to experiment with different airplane designs.

Great lessons and nice simple designs been building rc foam planes for years but free flight gliders are a Great Learning tool and teaches trimming High five to ya
The FAA will target these soon enough.
Excellent video. Great that you are using less expensive materials. Hope we all end up making radio control airplane that doesn't cost the earth and is easy & cheap to repair!!!
Love this video! Keep making content! I love the straight to the point style, and love the simple free flight designs. You’ve inspired me to build something like this.
This video is exactly wat I was searching for! Thanks for this awesome content
Loved the details that you have provided here and pleased to see quite a practical approach.
Very Well Done....
Subbed. Nice easy design. Cheers.
This is a great video! Like how it is easy to build. Be interesting to make it into a powered aircraft.
Love it. Keep going!
I love this video you just earned sub number 24! 👍
I love it, thanks
great job
Very good video
very cool!
Thanks for the modular design idea! It didn't occur to me to use wood for the body either. I get lots of scrap foam insulation off cuts from work so I have been making everything with that. Soooooooo much sanding, soooo much dust. I like using it anyway because if you dissolve the insulation dust in naphtha you get some nasty home made napalm. Hmmm, at 53 maybe I should not do things like that, maybe I should go and fish at the local pond and complain about politics with the other adults. Maybe I should stick two forks in the toaster and sit on it, more fun than fishing by far.
Superb
Congratulations on your work as a teacher in this video tutorial. 😁👍😉
My father and I love easy-to-build free-flying models. 😛
I suscribe at your channel .

If your plane wants to fly to the right or the left, this is seldom a weight issue. It can be the tail being out of line. Most of the time you need the wings to be 'fine' tuned so they match each other. If one wing has a bit more wing warp than the other, it will turn to the more warped side. Always vide the wings both from front and back to make sure they are the same.
But it could be a weight issue couldn't it .
@@redskyz483 It 'could' be a weight issue. I balance mine before I put them on the plane. With the ones I have built, if they are balanced, then it is a fine tuning issue.
@@robohippy Therefore he is correct in his video.
I decided to go with the weight method because I found it easier and more reliable than fine tuning the wings.
@@DesignYourOwnAirplanes-xd6lz your video was very good .
Design question: At 4:25 what made you decide that 30" x 5" Area and the dimension for the other components was the most optimal? What is the design philosophy/mathematical reasoning behind this decision? Or was it simply something you have to brute force with testing to get to this conclusion?
I chose a wing area of 150 square inches because I wanted the plane to have a wing cube loading between 3 and 4 (I talk about wing cube loading in the next video). I also chose an aspect ratio of 6 so that the wing would be long and skinny enough to provide decent efficiency, but also wouldn’t be too flimsy. I’ll talk more about aspect ratio, efficiency, and aircraft structures in some later videos.
I like it
How do I contact you? You are the best designer I have found on UA-cam. Well done!
Thank you! The comment section would probably work best for now. I might set up an email account for the channel soon.
