Last day of training Journal by Derek 11 Nov 09

Time to relax myself,6 day training is hard.

1st day

Understanding what makes a plane glides, as this is the first time we are building a un-powered gilder model plane.

2nd day

Designing our version of a gilder

3rd day

Fabrication and Construction of airfoil wing , and assembling them on the wing made of carbon fiber rod

4th day

After the wing is done, we started to fabricate the  dihedral wing tips

5th day

Assembling wings of the gilder onto the fuselage metal rod

6th day

Fabrication of the stabilizers and assembling  onto the fuselage

Testing the gilder



PROBLEM

The CG(centre of gravity) not right (solved)

How to prevent the gilder flying to a side (Yaw) as it will make line distance coverage measured from launching point shorter.

How can we make the gilder fly further?
