Lightweight Plane Glider
This 3d printed glider only take 25 minutes to print and flies super well. Its centre of mass and lift is calculated so the plane slightly pitches up in fly, maximise the range.
With a weight of only 4.9g, this is a very light glider, making it an ideal and safe toy for kids.
The best way to throw it is slow and straight. Due to the lightweight nature of this glider, it is recommended to use indoor to avoid strong wind.
I have only tried PLA and PETG for this print, you can achieve even lower weight with ABS, PLA Aero or PLA-LW!
