Can I Design a Glider?

Conclusion: Yes, I can! For me, the main challenge is using the right tools. I tried different using Paper, Grid Paper, Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, Google Sketch Up, Google Docs, and Open Office. I ended up sticking with Open Office.

I built a scale model and tested it out. The design was successful at a small scale size, we’ll see when it goes full scale.
