How to make a great free flight glider with Balsa wood
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This is a very fun and easy project to make for you or for a child, either way it requires a bit of skill to build it and make it fly. You will only need basic tools like a hobby knife, wood glue and the main material is balsa wood, as stated in the tittle of this video.
The Simmer’s Glider won for me the Class B senior indoor glider record in March 1937. which has had the good fortune to remain unbroken for two years. The first model of this design made a 57-second flight. Designed by Wallace Simmers.

Great tutorial, I appreciate and love your way of explaining and your patience for making the glider smooth.
love how simple and easy the design is. It flies so well.🕊🐦🐦🐦
I all ways enjoy your videos I watch all of them Thank you very much keep up the good work.
Thanks, man! I had to watch this video for a school project but it was really interesting so I watched all your vids! they're awesome! Keep it up!

Hi faud i like your channel and that foam board glider
Always great fun.
Nice job!
Great video. The trimming of the wings can always be improved, but still good nonetheless 👍
I actually made this glider and it took a little while but it was so fun to make and I even added some ultralight servos on the flaps to make it Remote controllable!

Again thank you so much for posting this step by step, it really helped!
if we assume that the cg was correctly located, then the video of the flights indicates that model never had a correct amount of nose-up trim, at the horiz-stab.
thats amazing
Wow another beautiful plane and a great video! I'm really curious how big can you realistically make a balsa wood hand launched glider? Future video idea maybe? 😉😉

Some people have done big ones in another channel. But for big airplanes I prefer to use the classic built metoth.

In the US we build them up to 1m span for contest flying. Tailbooms have to be made from carbon to handle the launch stresses because we discus launch them. The pros get close to 2 minutes in calm air.

I really liked this video thanks you. What do you use for weights clay ?
It was a good glider to make.
nice work next time make a lift to real mars alon musk will pay u 100 tusla
Thanks, new subscriber from Atlanta, GA. I need to purchase an imperial ruler. :)
Can we get the design plans?
I'm from Indonesia I have a lot of balsa wood
6:23 this nose is over-long: its length Should be Reduced by about 45 percent.
are all lengths in the pdf in mm like the wing is it 170 mm or Iam wrong
Hi, can I make with only 1.5 mm thick balsa wood?
6:17 !!!!!!! the grain in the vert-stab should be VERTICAL. !!!!!!!!!
nice plane

Exelent
Just asking, but wouldn't the glider fly better if the wings folded down and you give a little less thrust? as the down wings will provide stable lift allowing long glide range and speed at the same time
Very nice

I have a question.can I use 2mm balsa and then sand down the stabilizers so they have an airfoil too???
@Joyplanes

Yes, but stabilizer don't need to generate lift, a simetric airfoil is recommend.

Yes, make sure its sanded symmetrically and it should work.

This was designed for indoor flying. Indoor gliders don't need as much built-in stability as outdoor flyers. For outdoor use, build one, see how it performs and adjust as needed. At 7:01, you can see he is adding 'up' elevator. Too much 'up' elevator and the plane will loop at the launch. It's a tightrope between enough incidence for recovery and too much so it loops.

I disagree, the more glue the less likely the plane will shatter into pieces
