Great instructable.
Thank you!
I do modify it somewhat however. I don't let it stay "loose" I squeeze the body together and tape the nose to keep it from unfolding so I can cut a small slot on the bottom about an inch from the nose. This allows us to use a rubber band on a stick to "launch" the aircraft. I cut two small ailerons (I would call them stableators) to keep the nose up for best glide angle. You can adjust these to give left turn, right turn if desired.
We launch them straight up and the little thing climb like a homesick angle and once they run out of energy, the glide ratio is just perfect to produce a long graceful flight.
I rarely comment on boards but make this for you kids and you will not be disappointed. Enjoy and thanks to whoever put this up good job.
