A glider project to celebrate 100 years of flight

[gladiator1332]

I am getting ready to build a wright glider model out of cardstock that I will launch on one of my glider kits booster rockets (probably the Aurora)

I plan to launch the glider on December 17th. I'll post pictures from the launch if I can tkae some.

Is anyone else planning any projects for 100 years of flight, or planning any launches for December 17th?

Yeah it is deffinatley going to be a challenge. I am going to attach the glider to the Aurora kit's rocket to launch it, so it should work out ok (lets hope)

IMHO this is one of the neatest ideas I've seen in a while, best of luck (not that luck is needed )
