Was the glider as stable as you expected? Why or why not might this be so?
The final glider that we were able to produce was stable to the point of our satisfaction, this is probably due to our attention to the center gravity of the glider, as well as the even symmetry of the gliders wings and horizontal stabilizers.
What techniques did you use to "trim"the glider for a straight and gentle descending flight?
The main techniques used to trim the glider was use of long and gentle strokes with sand paper to fillet the leading edges of the wings, and to chamfer the trailing edges.
How many test flights were required to get the glider trimmed for long distance, straight-line flight? Was this expected? Why or why not?
The amount of needed test flights to concur that the plane was up to par was 25 trial launches, and we were able to successfully have our glider fly 50 feet in a consistence manner with little or now pitch and yall.
