Step 7Making them fly.
You need to bend the front tips of the tail wings down at a 45 deg angle, this makes the rear of the plane wan to fly down, and if you throw in the lift from the front wings, the plane will stay airborne.
This would be equivalent to turning the ailerons (control surfaces on the rear wings) up, to adjust the angle of attack on the front wings. Without this adjustment to the plane, it would make a tight loop downwards, and hit the ground. Fiddle around with the tail wings and tail until it flies the way you want it to. If the plane isn't going fast enough to fly, increase the angle of attack on the prop, to allow more air past with less rotations. You want to increase the length of v0 on the diagram (allows more air past) eg: twist it more
