It flew ok, but it had this tendancy to yaw uncontrollably, I originaly thought that might be because I had miscalibrated te vertical stabilizer.How did it fly after modifications? More observations. After the wings kept snapping off, I decided to change my wing design, I made them out of a single peice of wood (thus increasing both structural integrity and glue surface.) I also made it from a wider piece of wood (to make up for the fact that I had to make the wings shorter then they were in the original design so that I could conserve lifting surface).How did you further modify your plane? (realigned the vertical stabilizer, sanded the right wing to balance, etc.) Was the glider as stable as you expected? Why or why not might this be so? What techniques did you use to “trim” the glider for straight and gently descending flight? How many test flights were required to get the glider trimmed for long distance, straight-line flight? Was this expected? Why or why not?Be detailed on what you did and the desired outcome. The first model of the plane preformed realy realy well, except for the fact that the wings kept falling off… So I redesigned it some more after that.I am starting to think that that might have been a mistakeįlight observations: How did your plane perform? Be detailed and use proper verbage. I used the standard thickness of the wood provided, I had sanded an aerofoil on to all parts, the most extreme aerofoil was on the vertical stabilizer, and the one on the wing was more mild.Descriptions of how you modified your design during the build process (did you sand the wood to make an airfoil? What thickness of wood did you use? Etc.)
