Catapult launched gliders are great fun!
This simple profile scale glider can be hand thrown to fly in your backyard or go to a larger space
and use the included catapult to launch this jet high and fast! Careful adjustments are the way to
get the best out of a catapult glider. That will teach you trimming skills, which is a vital part of the
fun and enjoyment of flying model aircraft.

Building Instructions
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This model glider can be built using superglue, a waterproof wood glue like Titebond II, or balsa cement.
Some parts will require sanding to fit. A useful tool is a two-sided nail file, or you can glue medium and
fine sandpaper to each side of a straight stick.
A sharp craft knife can be used to remove the laser cut parts from the sheets. Adult supervision is highly
recommended when using sharp tools and superglue.
