UPDATE: I have made another glider that blows this one out of the water. It may take slightly longer to print but trust me it is worth it. Check it out yourself!
This is my version of a glider. I have printed and tried many other versions and they all seem to kind of perform poorly. I decided to try to make my own and it works ok. I had some pretty good flights out of it. I can't seem to find the perfect technique to throwing it though.
Occasionally it would float across the whole living room, and other times it would nosedive. So, I think its operator error.
I made a slight variation to mine than I haven't seen on others, I added flaps to the front wings. I also tried to bring back the center of gravity slightly. I bent both front and rear flap upwards maybe 35 degrees.
I hope somebody prints this and gives it a try. If you have any advice or feedback, I'm welcome to making changes on it to see if it will better it.
