Description
Choosing the perfect bend for the wing
Sanding down the rough edges for a smoother flight
Decorating is optional, but putting your name on the glider is required. Don't forget that important step!
 
 
 
 
 
It is important to take notes so you know how to adjust your glider before each flight
Figuring out how to release your glider is critical. Do you need to throw it hard, or just give it a gentle toss? Should you release it straight out, or pointing up?
Test a variety of designs!
