RE: Glider cradle causes tow plane instability
I really like that glider, it looks like a scale replica of a WW2 era US military glider. I will be looking for one, I really like the looks of it.
You guessed my next modification, a nose cone. I will probably make one from foam and caot it with epoxy and more yellow dope. I used some model dope to coat the tube and wood, mainly since I was planning on dropping water balloons. A good thing I did, today we had one burst in the pod as we started the engine, looked like the plane had peed it pants, was kinda funny.
I think I am getting a bit weird with making things to take aloft. I had been thinking of all kinds of entertaining things to do with this plane and had the idea that I could make a bubble maker. I was at Wally mart and saw a battery powered bubble machine, its gonna get attached to the plane soon. We also found some rainbow foil conetti, I see a mess coming. We are also planning a candy drop. All this is for our upcoming open house, oh I also bought supplies to start making a banner to be towed at the field. I really dont have this much time on my hands, I just cant stop being a kid. here are some close up pics in case anyone wants to make something similar.
