How to make a great free flight glider with Balsa wood

  • This is a very fun and easy project to make for you or for a child, either way it requires a bit of skill to build it and make it fly. You will only need basic tools like a hobby knife, wood glue and the main material is balsa wood, as stated in the tittle of this video.
    The Simmer’s Glider won for me the Class B senior indoor glider record in March 1937. which has had the good fortune to remain unbroken for two years. The first model of this design made a 57-second flight. Designed by Wallace Simmers.

      Yes, make sure its sanded symmetrically and it should work.

    6:23 this nose is over-long: its length Should be Reduced by about 45 percent.

  • @daviddavids2884
    @daviddavids2884 Рік тому +1

    if we assume that the cg was correctly located, then the video of the flights indicates that model never had a correct amount of nose-up trim, at the horiz-stab.

      In the US we build them up to 1m span for contest flying. Tailbooms have to be made from carbon to handle the launch stresses because we discus launch them. The pros get close to 2 minutes in calm air.

      This was designed for indoor flying. Indoor gliders don't need as much built-in stability as outdoor flyers. For outdoor use, build one, see how it performs and adjust as needed. At 7:01, you can see he is adding 'up' elevator. Too much 'up' elevator and the plane will loop at the launch. It's a tightrope between enough incidence for recovery and too much so it loops.

    Just asking, but wouldn't the glider fly better if the wings folded down and you give a little less thrust? as the down wings will provide stable lift allowing long glide range and speed at the same time
