Hello All,
My daughter and I made 30 Chuckstangs for a school market day project. The idea was to create a product and sell it at market in school. We built a prototype Chuckstang from NerdNicRC's site. I made a few modifications to make it a little stronger around the wing and easier to cut and made a template from that. My daughter did all the tracing, 3 planes per board on 10 boards, I did the cutting, and she did all the gluing and colored some of the models. It was a good bit of work but well worth it. They sold like hot cakes and the kids really liked them. They like coloring them in as much as throwing them around. Only thing I would do next time is strengthen the tail in some way as it gets fatigued from crashes. NerdNicRC has about a half dozen or so different glider designs. I would recommend these gliders for a similar project or just for fun. The kids have fun with it.
Take Care,
