Glider from drinking straws and paper

Another Dear Grandpa Pencil 'Helping the Planet' Project

Grandpa Pencil
Learns how to make a
Glider
From drinking straws and paper

To make this interesting glider you will need a fat drinking straw and some stiff paper or light white board.

Cut the two 'wings' to the sizes shown on the left.

Glue each 'wing' into a kind of a wheel and allow to dry.

When dry glue the 'wings to the straw as in the illustration.

I know it will be hard but give your glider plenty of time to dry before flying it.

To make a larger version cut the following pieces from a sheet of coloured poster board.

Body: 50 cm X 12 cm

Rear wing: 40 cm X 5 cm

Front wing: 20 cm X 3 cm
Roll and glue the body and wings into tubes and assemble the same as the smaller model.
