Modifications:
1. Made the fuselage longer - To give more stability for longer flight.
2. Made wings longer and shaped them - cambered shape on wings for luminar
air flow, also Bernoulli's Law/Principle for longer and more stable flight.
3. Attached wings at a dihedral angle of one and one-half inches - to
improve the wings angle of attack.
4. Rounded all edges - smoother air flow.
5. Notched fuselage - for lauching.
6. Placed wings one-fifth length from front of fuselage - for stability
and for center of gravity.
7. Added clay to nose - to change center of gravity. I measured width
of wing and placed the center of gravity one-fourth from the leading edge
of the wing.
8. Made horizontal and vertical stablizers bigger and rounded edges -
For smoother air flow and stability.
