Model Card Glider

Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

This is based on the Card Stock Sport Glider II, plans by zdedesigns available free, from indestructables.com
It is an agile little glider is great for a park or open field. You can throw it with considerable force, and the wings will hold up. It's a great one for loops and dynamic turns.
Its a great design an just at the right level of complexity. I have used it with 2 different troops and it has worked really well engaging everyone including the young leaders,
It is worth making this yourself before letting your Scouts loose on it :-)
