Toy airplanes attract both children and adults who want to launch a toy into the sky, but factory airplanes and gliders cost a lot, and paper airplanes, which were all folded during school years, cannot boast of good maneuverability. Nevertheless, you can make a real cardboard glider from scrap materials, which will become a great souvenir and a good toy for you.
Instructions
Step 1
To create such a glider, prepare materials - a sushi stick, thick thin cardboard, scissors, a breadboard knife, an eraser, Moment glue, two paper clips, an ice cream stick, thread, a simple rubber band and an empty ballpoint pen refill.
Step 2
Draw the shapes of the future wing, tail, and two oval stabilizers on the cardboard. Cut out all the pieces, focusing on the size of the length of the sushi stick. The wand will be the fuselage of your plane.
Step 3
The fins should be the same width as the tail. Use super glue to glue a cardboard tail to the thin tip of the sushi stick. Wait for the glue to dry, then cut off two identical rectangular pieces from the eraser, not exceeding the thickness of the fuselage.
Step 4
Remove the refill from the ballpoint pen and cut a piece from it that is longer than the size of the eraser bars. Insert the resulting tube into the eraser trim, after making a hole in the eraser with an awl or needle. You now have a bearing.
Step 5
Take a strong thread and wind the resulting bearing and a second piece of eraser to the fuselage. Tie the piece tightly to the stick and tie the thread.
Step 6
Bend the paper clips into hooks, then thread the first hook into the bearing on the nose of the glider (the nose matches the wide side of the sushi stick), and the second hook into the eraser attached to the tail. Bend the opposite end of the second hook, resting it on the fuselage stick. The hook, inserted into the bearing on the nose, should rotate freely.
Step 7
Now make a propeller out of an ice cream stick by arching the stick over the steam from a boiling kettle, or remove the finished propeller from any other toy. Take a rubber band. Attach the propeller to the front of the hook inserted into the bearing using glue or chewing gum. Hook the elastic to the opposite hooks so that it stretches slightly.
Step 8
It remains to install the stabilizers - make cuts in the stabilizers, and also make a cut on the tail. Insert stabilizers into the tail slits. The glider is ready.
