what is the best way to make an airplane that has to fly ATLEAST 20 feet out of only cardboard and clear tape?
i presume you are going to hand launch it and let it glide. anyhow, wings do not have to be curved. here is a loose idea of what you can do. make the wings out of the stiffest cardboard you have,app 3 or 4 inches wide, by about24 to 30 inches long. make the body out of stiff cardboard about2 inches wide or more, tape a piece of cardboard vertical on the tail end.shape it like a vertical stabilizer on a real airplane. need not be exact. or you can cut out the body and vertical stabilizer in one piece. better deal. cut a piece of cardboard about5 or 6 inches long and about 2 inches wide. dut a slot under the vertical stabilizer about 2/3 of the way up the body. enough so you can slide the horizontal stabilizer init. make it even on both sides of body. tape in place, using minimal tape. cut a slot in the body in the center of the heighth of the body and about 5 or 6 inches from the front. slide the wing in the slot and center it. NOW. put your two forefingers under the wingapp half way back and support plane. it must balance there. if it is tail heavy, you can either move the wing back a little or add a wad of tape to the nose. is it is nose heavy, which i do not think it WILL be, then add tape to the tail or move wing forward. make it just a tad nose heavy. oh word wingapp above is wing approximztely. sorry. hope it works. then test fly.. please dont break the sound barrier. i have made a few of the crazy things in my younger days. oh, your two fingers should be placed under the wing right next to the body good luck
