Elastic Launch Glider

What this event is about

Design, build, and fly an elastic-launched glider. Scoring typically rewards flight time/distance within constraints.

Study plan

1. Confirm max dimensions, mass, and launcher specs in the 2027 rules.
2. Prototype wing/stabilizer setups; change one variable at a time.
3. Practice consistent launches and trim adjustments.
4. Keep a flight log (conditions, turns, trim).

Tips

Indoor practice days beat guessing CG on tournament morning.
