How to make a foam free flight glider | Cheap and fast glider build

In this video you are going to learn how to make this simple glider, but pay attention to the details, it's very important to make it fly.
These gliders also called sailplanes are a great way to learn about the dynamic of flight, perfect for children who love airplanes.

Tip: for getting the wings a perfect airfoil shape, fine grit sandpaper works great (after you've done the basic cuts) airfoil

[@bobdoba1]

A thin coat of PVA glue will reinforce the wing without adding to much weight.

[@sarthakpowar7616]

I made it . Really working. 👍👍👍👍

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

I didn't know a single thing about how to build a glider. But, based upon this video and a plan I found complete with measurements, my first ever glider build took flight within about 3-4 hours of build time. Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@flightdog1807]

I like your plane,modern and very elegant.

[@Nozzall]

Wouldn't a through wing design where you just bent the wing from front to back be easier than carving out an airfoil? you would likely have to set up a thicker fuselage and the wing would need to be larger from front to back but that would allow more lift.

[@goombahead634]

Tip to the people building the control surfaces: use pieces of thin paper clip underneath the tape to maintain the wanted position. Works great if you crash a Sweet spot flight.

[@mediamonitor980]

I just discovered your channel a couple days ago. Hands down some of the finest production value content I’ve seen. You are right up there with guys like Flite Test and they are a much bigger and now fully functional business. My career is in broadcast media so take it from me when I say you are doing outstanding work. Keep it coming!

[@PizzaSlices2000]

very cool! i made one, i bought a full glider, i bought some motors, wheels and propellers, also batteries and all stuff(including the remote itself), i attached the parts to the airplane and oh wow! i managed to fly it out my building and get it back to me! i also found out that the wireless remote has a range of 210 feet!

[@flavorman9159]

I’m trying to imagine a wired remote (Tx) as opposed to a wireless one (which they all are)

[@ToastyMozart]

​@@flavorman9159There's Control Line planes where the only control method is via actual wires, like the flying offspring of a puppet and a hammer throw.

[@NotRelevant1]

When cutting the foam, if you do two passes instead of trying to cut all the way through in one, you can get really nice cuts without using a brand new blade

[@Prowlerook]

yes indeed and a cleaner straighter cut :)

[@AyshaLamiya]

Wow amazing ❤️😍

[@Pol93212]

If i find some foam maybe i'll do it cuz this LOOKS SO FUN

[@helpingpotato6422]

thanks for the physics tutorial

[@sadik_77]

THANK YOU SIR!!...YOU ARE GREAT

[@nicolabaldegger603]

Thank you for sharing, please can I ask the thickness/depth of foam board?

[@parthmahimkarr5170]

How thick is the foam board you used? my guess is 5mm

[@k.chriscaldwell4141]

Thank you. What thickness is the foam board?

[@richardwarner1373]

The cg may not be 30% the wing cord. It should be at the centre of lift which will depend on how you have cut that top profile

[@Joyplanes]

You are right.

[@magicworldbyjorg]

Cooles Video..

[@BlueTrane2028]

Neat project, but I think I’m going to stick to paper (White Wings) for now. Ninomiya’s “Tri-Linear” designs are especially good fliers, only issue is they seem to be out of print. Good thing I have many unbuilt, could just get some heavy card stock too.

[@henryforster8101]

That's good, but it came out at twice the weight it should have. Maybe clip back the wings a tad, or make an outline and cover it with tissue?

[@Nordlicht05]

Your foam could be heavier than his

[@depressedtruffle0000]

Or put a weight on the centre of gravity, under the middle of both wings.

[@bomb1bay239]

The plan doesn't say the width of the wing

[@meretstebler9988]

Build wider wings, then the planes will glide much further. That has to do with the re-number. Small and light planes need wider wings!

[@Vastasoceans7532]

Wide as in chord or span?

[@jfrphoto01]

@@Vastasoceans7532 ... Chord.

[@wavegreen]

Clean, well explained!

[@haraldschevik5213]

Awesome!!!!

[@cynicalmoose19]

If you tape the wings down to the table while shaping them you'll have an easier time getting a straight cut and have less risk to your fingies

[@AnimalsandInfotainmentTube]

Awwe such a cute word, fingies 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[@Space_gamer99]

I had also made a plane . A little bit bigger than it . It was sooooo smoooth. I had made before watching this video

[@amazingpower2761]

use a hot wire to cut and trim pieces

[@pavitrasambhoo5740]

I have a question,how to calculate the area of horizontal stabilizer?

[@nikhilchowdharyaarikavitha2191]

length of horizontal stabilizer should be 20% of the wingspan

[@user-ts3ou3zn9x]

F1h stab area 2.55 DM sq, F1A stab area 4 DM , top models volume .

[@MrAaa9271]

[@zarulmiqhailzarulakmal4391]

where i can get the second glider plan?

[@ProkopHapala]

I like the simplicity and the material. But the wing profile is too thick and chord lengh too short which decrease Reynolds number. The result is huge drag. For such small glider it is much better to make wings wider (longer cord) and as thin as possible. It is even worth to sacrifice the aspect ratio, since at low Re the induced drag by tip vortices is less impotaint than viscous drag and form drag due to thick profile.

[@plty3931]

can i get some help from u please? Can we talk on instagram or discord messages?

[@d_praz5946]

What glue do you use for the foam sir?

[@Chuckles-mz3oj]

I used foam

[@biju4279]

1/2 x base x height = area of a triangle

I think there is something wrong with the diagram because I compared your measuring with a ruler I realised what you wrote on your digram is not the same measurements as I saw on the video! check your digram

[@alexpopov6846]

i have the same problem. On the diagram the wingspan of the glider is 252mm but in the video it is clearly larger.

[@bubblezovlove7213]

What's the foam for the wings actually called?

[@jaykissensookdeb5102]

Depron

[@theoddbuilder675]

i buitl it in millimeters like you said and i wasted a peace of foam board im sad

[@tanzimulittahad623]

what type of foam you have used

[@Joyplanes]

It's called foam board or foam core.

[@bread9521]

3mm? for the foamboard

[@Joyplanes]

5 mm but for small glider 3 mm works better

[@jayashreemanoj7963]

what is the measurement for the vertical measures??

[@christosvoliotis8258]

A simple yet efficient little glider nice video dude . One good idea I recommend you is try to make a spare using wood for the airframe and transparent tape to as coating for the wind .Overall great job dude😉

Where to buy the foam?

eBay or pizza discs.... 😎

[@jimsmalleimb7709]

Here's an idea... Instead of using foam board which you have to buy, try using saved styrofoam meat trays. I've been making model planes from those trays since I was a little kid. Better to use those trays instead of throwing them in the trash. That's a REAL way to recycle and "save the planet" (if you believe in that sort of crap)
