V2 Glider Remix

I printed the glider using ABS with a 0.25mm Z-step. Print the right and left sides then clamp together and glue with super glue. The left and right sides are cut so that when glued together there is a ten degree dihedral in the wing angle for flight stability. The addition of reinforced ribs help in folding the rudders into a vertical direction and the addition of reinforced seams for folding the elevator and rudder tabs. Launching outdoors is enhanced by using a rubber band that catches the angled slot cut in the nose. Connect the rubber band loop into the slot and pull back. The launching trick is to quickly drop the launcher a couple inches (centimeters) just as you release the glider (so it doesn’t smack into the launcher). If the glider rolls left or right try bending the front wing trailing edge down slightly on that side of the glider.
