A drafting and simulation bench for designing, trimming, and test-flying paper, balsa, and foam gliders.
Field notes
The bench accepts exact design values or slider adjustments for span, chord, sweep, tail arm, and ballast, then recalculates eighteen figures including static margin, Reynolds number, minimum sink, and glide performance. Its simulator incorporates launch conditions such as wind, angle, height, and launch style, producing named outcomes including Phugoid Porpoising and Spiral Away. The page also describes four airframe layouts, five airfoils, seven materials, fifteen lessons, and a flight log for recording throws and personal bests.
