That's pretty good, but I make flying airplanes that have baffled many people. Looking at that model, you must be meticulous about the airfoil shape. Yours is out of shape. You fix the up, weight it out properly, add a little extra weight right on the center of gravity, as this weight will help it go farther by storing the energy you put into it by throwing it, it will glide much farther. I have achieved (from a four story building, 200 feet of a near level glide, before the model gradually came down and landed nose up, just like a real plane, about 300 feet away. The were unconventional in Shape.
Here are some Renders I did of the basic design. These were hollow. They C.G. was established by moving the tail section with the high mounted elevator to the proper position, that would give me a center of gravity with the nose ever so slightly down. The elevator was set to put the aircraft nose up. The chines along the nose of the aircraft generated a lot of lift, and this gave the weight for the C.G. to be proper, but also provided an incredible amount of lift. these planes could be tossed across a room and many times, accidentally, I hit friends in their noses or foreheads as the glider flew so level, they did not see them coming. I taught all of my friends how to make these. I got in big trouble at Sikorsky when I threw one and it went waay to far. An engineer picked it up, looked at me and asked me where I got it from. I told him it was one of my designs. He asked me, quite a nice way, if he could "please have it, to show the boys upstairs". I gave it to him. Some engineers then asked if they could have one for themselves, but I told them I was not really supposed to be doing that on company time. That engineer reveled in the fact he was the only one to have one. We became friends, and it turned out because of his position, offloading to other companies, I was able to bring back "In House". That plane changed a lot of things for me, and I got raises because of it. It flies like the Dickens, if set up right. Since it is hollow, it does not fly fast, it flies slow, and very long. Very very long. It can be modified many ways, but I found that keeping the bottom completely flat achieved the best results. Maybe we should start a glider section? I designed these. I have not seen others like them. There is a very easy way to make them. I would share it, but with stipulations. There has been too much piracy lately, which is why I will not release my models.
It saddens me that someone here is doing this, but I believe that person also belongs to another forum and that is where his heart lies, and lies and lies. I don't know what to do about it, but if I find out, I will list his name, address, phone number, picture, email, everything I find out, so everyone knows he is a thief not to be trusted, no matter what price I have to pay for it. We are being trusted with complete works, and I take that far more seriousness than anyone can imagine. Sorry for the rant.
d lies and lies.
