Latest attempt at a simple glider using some of the learning points from my recent glider videos. Made entirely from Styrofoam plates it is very light and easily catches the lightest breeze. On yesterday's Styrofoam Plate Jet Glider video Catalin Ionut commented "It's tail heavy. The center of gravity isn't correct." so that gives me an excuse to throw it around in the garden again :-) Previous details https://youtu.be/DGbRAhr4jjI?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB0nZItxE_78EJP0F99Ghaki If you have a question it is probably worth reading this video description first because the answer may already be here.

OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
