Tinker Lab on Flight (Part 3)

Hello everybody and welcome back to another post. Today I will show you some of the awesome gliders I made. Some of them do tricks!

Before I made the gliders, I had to make a rubber band launcher. It uses the power of thrust from rubber band to make gliders glide.

The rubber band launcher is designed to pull back the
glider with the rubber band. When you let it go, it shoots
the glider into the air.

My first glider I made is the Wright brothers plane. It's pretty cool how the gliders are made. The main part of the glider is a piece of wood that has a triangle slot in it. The triangle slot keeps the glider on the rubber band. How I put it together, I just used rectangle and cube sticky foam to attach the wings and tail to the base. I also had to put clay on the front. I made it spin and do tricks by flipping flaps on the top wings.

(Decorated too!! ^_^)

The bottom of the plane.

After that I made a trick plane, what's different about it is that it has more flaps then the wright brothers plane. That means it can do more tricks then the other gliders I made. I went all out with the stickers. :-)

I used almost all of the stickers 
for this one.

Last, I made a shuttle. It doesn't do tricks like the trick plane. Instead, it goes farther when you launch it. That must be because it's flat on top.

AND WE HAVE LIFT OFF!!! 

After I made the gliders, there were some paper airplane instructions for 4 cool types of paper airplanes: the dart, t-wing, inverter, and cyclone.



Orange is the dart. Blue is the cyclone. Red is the inverter.
Green is the t-wing.

I like all of the planes and they all but the t-wing glided pretty well.

My Opinion

The dart earned 4/5 stars for being like the original paper plane. I gave the cyclone 4/5 stars because it's kind of hard to throw. The T-wing received 1/5 stars because it glided horribly.
 Last, the inverter I gave 5/5 stars because it glided really well and it looks AWESOME!!! What's your favorite? Tell me in the comments.

After the planes, I did this project called  "paper airplane tricks." (Only available for the dart.)

Here are the flaps.

It was simple, all I had to do was take some scissors and cut two lines on the dart plane. If I folded the flaps down, it had more lift. If I folded the flaps up, it creates less lift. What happens when I fold one flap up and one down? It spins! These flaps on the plane are called ailerons. Pilots use those flaps on the wings to make the plane turn. I'm just using it for tricks.
