Hey all, I never know where to stick questions like this so I hope it's okay posting it here. I do an FT-STEM based program here in Taiwan, and because the school doesn't have a big field, I'm always doing small planes with my class. The new FT EZ-Glider looks absolutely -perfect- for my situation! But this semester we've already done free-flight Sparrows, as well as the Sparrow's Egg Challenge from the FT-STEM curriculum.
What I'm hoping to find out, from those who helped develop the EZ Glider, is if it would be light enough to be able to be flown with a rubber band propeller. I have some Guillow's balsa kits but I feel they are too delicate for my 7th graders. If the EZ Glider could fly off a rubber band propeller, that would fit a great role in my curriculum! Any tips on this or anyone who has tried something similar?
Thanks for any feedback!
