The Pegasus says upcycle

Remember those funny little balsa and/or foam  gliders that seemed to be sold everywhere when you were a kid?  Here is how to  make them out of old cereal boxes.  You will need an empty box, a razor and some thing to protect the table you cut on.  and a basic template of the glider you want to make.

Step 1 Find or make a template

Almost any fairly simple stencil will work.  I have made birds, a few types of planes and a dragon.  spray paint (or trace) the template onto cardboard from the empty box.

Cool, I'd love to see it fly!

it depends on how straight you get the wings. also you can bend the trailing edge of them to make it dive or climb more when you throw it,

How well does it fly?
