Los Osos Middle School

Hello, I'm part of a club formed at Los Osos Middle that makes, launches, and records the times of balsa wood gliders. So far we've made the gliders from the original plans, flown by hand, and recorded the flight times.

I am Aaron Stireman from Los Osos Middle School and I am participating in the division II glider project. I am 13 years old. Los Osos is located on the Western Central Coast. My glider built from the original plan follows:

Hello, I'm Chris Groth. I don't seem to be haveing luck with my glider! It breakes in a different part every time it's handled, as you can see in the picture, (someone picked it up, steamed it with their breath, and bent/broke the wing!). Surprisingly, it works better!
