Description

This model is a remix of another glider but I wanted to make it faster so I designed a hook for it. I went through 4 iterations of the hook to make it strong enough to withstand hard impacts. I've printed more of these than I can count, and my friends love them too. They fly straight as an arrow and far if you scale it up.

Scaling it to different sizes is also fun. 50% and 200% planes have both still work and create a unique experience. 

 

How to shoot it:

To shoot them effectively, I have found that pinching the rubberband between your index finger and the middle of the thumb(on non-dominant hand) and stretching the rubber band over the top of the thumb gives the best shot. Hold the rudder of the plane between your index and middle finger with your other thumb on the bottom below the rudder (with dominant hand). Sorry for the bad image quality but you can look at that too, for how to shoot.
