How to make a balsa wood glider
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 бер 2017
- A balsa wood glider is really easy to make despite the physics involved on it's flight. Make one yourself and have a ton of fun.
In this video I explain how to make it from the beginning.

I just discovered your channel and i have to say that your videos are excellent and you put a lot of effort into them!! Keep it up!! and thank you for the information you are sharing!
Thank you so much for your comment!
Great video. Love the girl in the pink sneakers holding her arms out when she runs to retrieve the glider!
Love your channel. I've learned a lot.
I just made this and it works amazingly! I did make some small changes though.
Very greatfull for that video and info. Keep up the good work.
very cool!
Awesome job
thanks so much, this was really helpfull
You're welcome!
Everyone asking tech questions here havent even bothered looking on the web for design guidance. Its all there in plain language.
You can make the glider fly backwards or just stay over one spot with a fast enough headwind
Thankyou for the video it was very informative. I would like to try to build the plane
You know - locally (Hamilton) - balsa model building used to be attainable. I think I spent $0.35 to $0.80 cents on a model aircraft kit. I'm very sure I lost quite a few in the summer due to strong thermals and occasional medium strength winds. This is back in the Mid-70's. I ended up using white glue to bond the wings, since they became "thin" over time, and fell out, easily. I don't even have this hobby anymore, due to the inflation, cheaper styro-foam competitors, and more expensive balsa wood kits. Plus balsa is one of those sensitive "environmental" issues, with trees and stuff. Scarce resource or whatever.
I could not find any indictions about the size of the fuselage, either in the plans or the video...can anyone help?
Enjoyed very mush, I'm 69" used to make planes in the dorm I like old shoot not new products. The engineer is t the real builder not some fancy new product, like the span. I tried to double the cord of the span about on the left and. The right sides. Just reducing the wing load and it helped, I had a little down flaps very little with it. Enjoyed those days. The dorm guys came over and got to learning aerodynamics to them, I was always building a plane it seemed, I kept the wing of my best design for decades, I can still remember it, it also had a dyhedral on both sides as well. Again. I even enjoyed you getting it.
Nice
Can you give me the number of degree and long of the wood
✅ Very Cool Video!!
very good
I make it fly so well
Hello, how do you put on some flaps? just a message on how to pput flaps
Awesome
Thanks
What was your final weight?
Good intro
how fast does it fly? need to calculate lift and reynolds
how many kg payload can carry ?
i like you video, It taught lots of technique to me, thanks. question: what glue do you use ?
I mostly use epoxy.
Please upload a nice PDF in English
GOOD
Hand Made ia very good ,i am like glider ohlg, hecker computer
Totally agree with you there

How to determine the size of stabilizer and fuselage from the size of wings
Hi i am from Uttar pradesh
how to make a catapult to make the glider fly
can I make a remote-controlled variant of the glider
Sure! I already did ua-cam.com/video/gxSx9PsfEHA/v-deo.html
Mom said no
Does wood glue work
Mm or cm?
Nice video but where i can find the materials?
Hobbystores
this glider is little better than a brick
better design see nighthawk gliders sandpiper, also see videos by Joshua Finn at J&H Aerospace for better info on building
balsa HLG and catapult gliders
Where are the sizes ? 😯
Hello man, I can´t download the plan, the link isn't working. If you can fix this I would really appreciate that. Thank you!!
Try now, bit.ly/3h3N4Zg
@@Joyplanesthank you bro, it works now
😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
How we can know the center of gravity?
There are many videos about it, but if you hold the plane with two fingers on the wing, it should balance at 30% from the leading edge.
Oh thanks
Wait what glue are you using? Doesn’t seem like CA
i think its super glue
not sure
SaVaGe GaMeRs ELITE 98XTE01 oh okay. You’re taking about the clear one in the small bottle he kept using at the start right?
@@jacktan1468 at the start
i think its super glue
Papo, your planeador would fly better if you didn't add that stick under the wing. It creates drag. I don't mean to critique your well done job. Your glider does fly well anyhow.
Yep, some people have commented that already. Thanks.
what's the music in the first part?
it's called far away
Thanks!
UA-cam library, and search the name far away.
Can i have your contact?
Ms. Headrick sent me here
On the Stodoys website you can count on professional help with problems and technical support.
what are the balsa wood dimensions ? to order?
Order some sheets of 2mm, 3mm thick and balsawood rods, then you can cut them acording to the drawing from the description.
but what is the length ? as im going to order online need to know the length please?
I used sheets of about 450mm x 120mm and 2 / 3mm of thickness
ill look for that in banggoods
possible to share any link of banggood or ebay to buy exact same dimensions? plz
This is another flying plank video. Your wing has no aerofoil shape an no angle of attack so doesn't fly. However when you added wing flaps you did create a crude aerofoil for the wing that produced lift.
It actually flies with out the flaps, and yes try to make a propper airfoil out of a 2mm balsa wood sheet, that´s all I could come up with and it works.
A flat plate airfoil will actually still produce lift. It just doesn't produce lift at zero angle of attack.
They're not very efficient (in terms of lift-to-drag) but they work and are simple enough to visualize the basics of aerodynamics / flight vehicle dynamics.
See this page for more information about flat plate airfoils: aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/21391/what-is-the-performance-of-a-flat-plate-wing
George Christoforou flying plank? Lmfao!!!
I saw airfoil wing shaping in the beginning. There's was even a sketch of it on the screen.
does it fly far?
patricia khawsu no it wont fly far
The glide ratio is 1.15 that means that in perfect conditions, it will fly 15 mts every 1 meter of height so if you launch it from a high building, it could fly very far if you're willing to lose it.
i'm going to go for a competition soon and maybe u could give me tips on building it and so it could fly far
I'm not an expert but this glider has a good glide ratio and if you make it lighter it helps. It also depends on how fast you are going to launch it.
will plywood work ??
No. It's too heavy but try and see if it flies faster.
@@Joyplanes but its 2mm thick ,
im making this only 2 meters in size
That's huge! Good luck!
haha! thanks, ill just be using 3 balsa wood planks
vocês não conseguem fazer aviões nem de brinquedo .
war music on. the crash now popolar. death cray and eating bloods.
Dish you
It is obvious that you have absolutely no knowledge of Aerodynamics. I am sorry but this is a beautiful design that has been totally destroyed by your reinforcement additions and I sincerely hope that no one, who is keen on learning Aeromodelling, uses this video to gather basic knowledge. that would be a disaster. You are using reinforcements on the wings that will cause a lot of drag That is totally anti aerodynamic. Further, your plans are misleading as far as the vertical tail plane measurements are concerned. At 9:23 in the video (From what I can make out from the video, the vertical stab is exactly half the horizontal stab) it seems that the root chord of the vertical stab is the same as the widest point of the tailplane, however, by the 10:38 mark the vertical stab has increased beyond the leading edge of the tailplane apex.
I'm sorry that you didn't like this, and those are a lot of words to explain why you don't like my video, next time use the dislike button.
On the other hand if you want me to explain why I had to sacrifice the aerodynamic with the short reinforscements I'll be here. The other statements about the tail might be right for high performance gliders but not for a homemade glider made in few hours. Cheers!
Sorry, I guess I wasted my time and yours.
While the argument can be made, that planes were meant to fly, not crash, it is important to point out that designing an aircraft is inherently multidisciplinary. There are trade-offs between aircraft structures, aerodynamics, flight dynamics / control & propulsion, and it is important to consider all of them when designing an aircraft.
As you pointed out, there is an aerodynamic penalty for the wing support, however, this is needed for ruggedization, since you don't want the aircraft to be destroyed upon a hard landing.
This perfectly illustrates the point of multidisciplinary design. At the end of the day, you want to have an aircraft that flies reliably, has adequate performance, and most importantly, accomplishes the mission.
To this, I think the addition of extra wing support is very justifiable from a design perspective (since the mission is to build a reliable glider.) However, if you want to achieve better glide performance (with the cost of poor ruggedness) you can remove the spars. It all depends on what you want to accomplish (i.e. to define the mission.)
Lol
veecee27 it's interesting to gather all knowledge on both sides
The aspect ratio of this glider is awful
Yes, you're right.
I guess he just made it for fun?
I disagree with the aspect ratio criticism. Look at modern commercially made designs for proof.
@@joewoodchuck3824 no the wing is too long for the chord, expensive DLG are a horse of a different color
Had to listen in silence. The music was horrible.
Sorry but its not good!
very annoying music
