Maiden flight

[Jabberwo]

The first chuck of my daughter’s Chuck Glider.

She did most of the straight cuts. I did the more “intricate” cuts of the fuselage and wielded the hot glue gun. Second plane I’ve built after “my” Chuck Glider I finished Friday. Hopefully the start of a father-daughter bonding hobby!

Enjoy them while you can, they grow up way too fast.

Nice! I’ve been thinking about building one of these to drop from a drone...

That looks like a very clean build! Tracked straight and true. Any plans to catapult it, or is it a living-room-soarer (my personal bias, haha)?
