Re: 3 Balsa wood Gliders + All accessories in box

Thanks all!

In response to a PM from Kartick @ Speedracer, I am attaching some old snaps for reference:

Query No.1 "What are the Silk Ribbons used for?" These pictures should be self explanatory.

Query No. 2 "What are the small wooden sticks used for?" They are used for increasing the contact area between the wing roots and the fuselage. Also for providing the correct angle to the main wings.

Re: 3 Balsa wood Gliders + All accessories in box

If your chuck glider does not respond to rudder - its cg is usually too far forward

Chuck gliders usually respond better to a little up aileron - way to do this
is put some nitrocullose glue (quickfix or similar) on the trailing edge tip of the
desired wing. The trailing edge will curl towards the glue as it dries - do a
little at a time as its very effective.

Sorry but it wasn't possible for me to check each and every kit as they were sealed packets. If it can't be repaired, please send it back to me and I will replace it with a fresh piece. However, I take no guarantee for breakages in transit. I will try my best to wrap it in stiff cardboard and thermocole/bubble wrap.

VC, you are responsible for children getting less marks in this exams, they are going crazy chucking gliders all o'er. Cartoon TV people are gunning for you, as you caused some TRP issues i guess. beware

Re: 3 Balsa wood Gliders + All accessories in box

There seems to be a problem with the tail plane. Have you sanded the leading and trailing edges a bit too much? She is a beautiful flyer and this may spoil her flight characteristics. Check the picture of my glider in the earlier page of this thread.

Re: 3 Balsa wood Gliders + All accessories in box

For all beginners, the Magpie / Follow me is an accomplished design and can be assembled and flown with virtually no sanding at all. Even if you don't create an aerofoil shape and assemble the wings just as they are, she will still fly well. Just a light sanding to remove the roughness from the surfaces of all components is good enough.
