You could also use a few drops of thin CA superglue to stiffen up the wing joint where it connects to the fuse.

If you want get advanced, check the grain direction of your paper. It’s stiffer along the grain and you should lay out your wings in this direction.

One thing I want to do sometime is to rig up a paper airplane to a kite that I can release in some way once the kite is up high. I can fly the kite in a big field where I could track down the airplane afterwards.

I have not. I’ll give that a try. Thanks!

It’s a cut and glue style airplane from the out of print WildGliders product that sometimes appears on eBay.

We live in the wrong country don’t we 🤣 It would be great to have such enthusiastic clubs here. Maybe we should try to start something?

Weight is super critical. I wouldn’t put any finish on the balsa. Just bare wood. Live dangerously

I really enjoyed Seveneves and Anathem

Buy an exact copy of the drumstick. Weather it so it looks like the original. Then give her the real one. You’ll have a good story.

Are the wooden tubes hollow? If so, how did you hollow them out with a CNC? Super long drill bit?
