FF Freebie: Stunt Glider
OUR MISSION: to obtain 50 gliders on a five-dollar budget. Our goal: to toss these gliders from our Christmas parade float to youngsters along the route. The wings were free. One of the local merchants donated foam meat trays, from which we cut the wings. (The nice people at the grocery store appreciated that we were pushing carts full of groceries when we asked for the trays.) The free wings just about fit our budget. This allowed us to spend our big bucks on real balsa for the tail feathers. We only had to scrounge for fuselage sticks and modeling clay.
