This glider can glide for about 18.5ft, that was its average glide distance. I
will be making a CAD of it soon. The movies are not very good, I had to use the
camera from the lego vision command set, and unfortulently the glider moves to
fast to be seen clearly by the camera. Well all comments are of course welcome,
I will try to answer any questions.

I'm currently working on a new version that will eliminate the need for the
paper part of the tail.

Daron,

Wow, that's cool, one more thing done that I didn't think was possible in Lego.

Thanks,

George

Thanks! :) Hopefully newer versions will glide even further. (21 years ago, 28-Jul-03, to lugnet.technic)
