hate to be grammar police, but it's "you're" done - you know, you + are = you're?

nice little glider

Grammar police:

"Hate", not "hate".

"Nice" not "nice".

"glider." not "glider"

rawknexstuff in reply to jjone538Jul 8, 2012. 4:09 PM
Inkscape (simple scalable vector graphics drawing program)
manskybook in reply to rawknexstuffJan 11, 2011. 12:47 AM
So you agree there should be some standards?
rawknexstuff in reply to manskybookJan 22, 2011. 1:37 PM
Yes, I do.

you should add a pdf design that people can print
czacha42 says: Feb 26, 2011. 6:33 AM
if your plane is too light, you can staple the front.
Btw nice work.

The plane I made was too front heavy. It just did a nose dive.
dhanveetech says: Jan 8, 2011. 1:37 PM

lil larry says: Feb 4, 2011. 8:40 PM
nice plane!!! for some reason my plane dives down and rises up, but good job!!! :)
AngelaGrace in reply to lil larryFeb 5, 2011. 8:00 AM
Mine does it too. Most of the time that is. I just finished it and I think it's cool.
kcls says: Jan 6, 2011. 5:51 PM
Good photos! Do you still have the original design? Can you scan it in to make it easier to cut out and put together?
bd5 in reply to kclsJan 9, 2011. 8:49 AM
I just drew it in Autocad. If you like I can send you a copy (in .pdf if you prefer). Shoot me an email if you'd like a copy.
doctoradi in reply to bd5Jan 9, 2011. 11:33 AM
can you please pass me a copy - doctoradi@gmail.com
Delo97 in reply to doctoradiJan 25, 2011. 11:37 AM
Nice! Now I can spam you!
Just joking, never mind
rexdino5 in reply to doctoradiJan 10, 2011. 1:59 PM
Mmm... Autocad. That things kinda tricky to use. I'm taking a pre-engineering class in my 9th grade right now and the program is very hard to use with triangles... but autocad is a great solution. I'll try it when I get to school tomorrow.

tictaclad in reply to DELETED_jorgegunnJan 9, 2011. 3:52 PM
thank you!!! i had such a hard time drawing it myelf
tictaclad says: Jan 10, 2011. 6:45 PM
i didnt think it would actually fly but it did...i threw it hard and it did a fast little loop...big loop for its size
rexdino5 says: Jan 10, 2011. 3:33 PM
Would this work if you make a similar shape but still in the same proportion? As in similar I mean same proportion.
rawknexstuff says: Jan 10, 2011. 2:54 PM
These planes are perfect size to put a toothpick in the middle.
