A re-design of my previous chuck glider and penultimate revision that addresses all known mechanical failures. The primary change was reducing the weight by 1/2 to improve ground impact survivability. Meant to resemble a balsawood glider, this print can be flown at very gentle throwing speeds (~20 mph) and survive a variety of impacts due to its reduced weight and flexible spars that absorb impact energy. If you want something fun to toss around the yard, this is the model for you.

All joints are either friction fit or are superglued together.
