Previous Results

Hello, our first fligt went fairly well.
Results: Winter flew it (1st flight) 3 feet and (2nd flight) 7 feet. Katie flew it (1st flight) 1 foot and (2nd flight) 4 feet. Mary flew it (1st flight) (-1) foot and (2nd flight) 7 feet. Stephen flew it (1st flight ) 1 foot and (2nd flight) 3 feet. Jylyn flew it (1st flight) 5 feet and (2nd flight)3 feet. We hope to make a good and durable glider this time with the changes we will make.
Then we launched from a table height of 29" and at a 40 degree angle. We used a launcher that was 31 and one-half inches long. The glider was pulled back so that the tail end of the glider touched the end of the launcher. One person did all of the launches.
