Modifications to the wing are as follows:
1. Balanced on CG - allows the glider fly efficiently, a point where
a weight distribution is equally balanced.
2. Polyhedral - gives roll stability, the glider has less tendency to
lift or drop a wing tip.
3. Increased wing span - increases wing area, gives more lifting surface
and higher aspect ratio, flatter glide angle.
4. Semi-elliptical wing planform - better drag pattern, less drag 5.
Curved chord (wing) - increases lift.
6. Wing placement at 1/5 fuselage - increase the effect of the tail
section, gives better stability.
