Using the sanding sponge or sandpaper, sand the front edge of Triangle A to a tapered edge.I will refer to the larger triangle as triangle A Save one of the leftover triangles that get cut off. Using your hobby knife, cut along the diagonal lines you just marked.Using the straight edge, make a straight line along the edge, marking a diagonal line (see pictures for clarification). On the left side, place a straight edge (or ruler) so it starts on the 1 inch mark at the bottom and goes to the top middle (the top of the line running from top to bottom).to the center of the piece and mark two points: one towards the bottom and another near the top. Using your ruler and starting at 2 in.We will be using the larger piece, the 6x2in. Now, using your hobby knife, cut along the line you just marked.You should now have a line running from top to bottom (see pictures for clarification). of the piece and mark two points: one towards the bottom and another near the top. For this part, we are going to use the 9x2 in.
BALSA WOOD GLIDER HOW TO
You are now done with the front wings! Part 2 will show you how to make the back wings.Tip: be careful when sanding the wing as balsa wood breaks easily. Sand the back of the wing to a tapered point. Using the sanding sponge or sandpaper, sand the front of the wing down, to a blunt tip (see picture"front of wing" for clarification). You can do this step if you want your plane to glide better. We now have to sand the wood to create an airfoil kind of shape, creating lift and allowing air to flow more easily over the wing.
BALSA WOOD GLIDER CRACK
Then put a long thin line of super glue down the center of the crack that opened in the wood. With the scored part on top, slightly bend/fold along the scored line angling the wings downward(see pictures for clarification).This will allow us to slightly angle the wings. Using your hobby knife, carefully score along the line running from top to bottom.Using your hobby knife, cut along the lines you just drew creating a wing shape.Using the straight edge, make a straight line along the ruler, making a diagonal line (see pictures for clarification). On the right side, place a straight edge (or ruler) so it starts on the 1 inch mark at the bottom and goes to the top middle(the top of the line running from top to bottom).Measure one inch up from the bottom left corner.You should now have a line running through the middle from top to bottom (see pictures for clarification). Using your ruler and starting at 4 in.If your piece is bigger, use a ruler and mark 16x4 in., then cut out the marked rectangle with your hobby knife.
For this part, you are going to use your 16x4 in.
