The Boys From Canada
Hello Flyers,
The boys from Canada have finally built and recorded their test flights...EH..
Here are our results.
Martin was the designated flyer for all of the test flights. We decided
to have the same person flying all of the planes for consistency. He stood
on a chair inside of the school and launched with arm powered motion at
an angle slightly upwards.
Flights were 269cm, 320cm, 210cm, 207cm,347cm,347cm, and then the plane
crashed and the wings fell off.
We decided to try it without the wings just to see what would happen and
we were very suprised. The plane flew 534cm. We don't have an answer as
to why. Maybe someone could answer this for us.
We are now starting to modify and have built a plane
that has the wings as long as the body and they are curved on the tips.
We will be flying this week and will send back information.
We can not fly outside because we still have snow.
Talk to you soon,
The Boys from Canada...Eh
