Adjusting Your Sonic Silhouette
The primary adjustment for a great
flying glider is the elevator. I will help
you find the best position for the
elevator in the next section. To
increase the elevator angle carefully
bend it up like this. If you need to
decrease the elevator angle, just
carefully bend it down in the same way.
Rigging the wings of your glider is also very important for good
flights. You should check to be sure you have the same camber
throughout the wing and matching camber between each wing. Also
check to be sure there is no twist in each wing. The best way to do
that is to look at your glider nose-on, then tilt it up just enough to
see the under side of the wings like this. Now, compare the amount
of visible wing at the tips; they should be the same. If you see
more or less surface on one side, then carefully warp the wingtip
until they match.
