Chimneyrock Elementary, Baird

Our test flight was awesome!  We stood on picnic tables in the Monet 
Garden of our outdoor classroom for extra launch power.  Here are the 
results:   Justin - from a height of 7feet at a 45 degree angle - the 
glider took a nose dive and fell straight down.  Bryson - from a height 
of 6 feet at a 45 degree angle - the glider hit an air pocket and flew 
backwards 18 feet - hit the dirt and broke!   Dominick - from a height 
of 8 feet at a 45 degree angle - the glider flew 10 feet.  All three of 
us used "arm" power to launch - we like the idea of a rubber band launch 
but decided the wood is too fragile. We had fun and are now redesigning, 
rebuilding, and researching!  Thanks for all the e-mail - makes us feel 
like we're in this together.....Later ...from the Pyramid City!
