Title: Build a small eel glider
Post by: ramiroelliot on November 01, 2024, 04:17:28 AM

Hello everyone! I’m trying to build a small (13’ by 13’ glider) out of balsa wood that would fly straight for at least 40ft. Could you suggest what type of wing and tail to use and how to make overall performance better? Thank you!

I would suggest you google 'small balsa chuck glider', there's plenty of info on planforms, wingspan, airfoils etc
