It's REALLY easy to make gliders using Easel and the X-Carve, and while you COULD do the same with a knife, where's the fun in that? Here's what you'll need: (purchasing via these affiliate links supports ILTMS) Balsa Wood strips 1/16" - http://amzn.to/1In6Wyf Balsa Wood strips 3/32" - http://amzn.to/1KpDeef For more details check out http://www.iliketomakestuff.com/make-gliders-balsa-styrofoam-using-x-carve Check out FliteTest for more RC planes, multi-rotors and more! https://www.youtube.com/user/flitetest I started a design, purely out of my head, in Illustrator, but there are free design software options, like Inkscape, as well. I just made sure the slits for the wings and tail were as wide as the material I was using for the wings. Saving the design as an .svg file, I imported it into Easel and scaled them up to my final size. I copied the wing and tail pieces to a new file, since they use a different thickness material than the body. I used 3/32" balsa wood that I got from a craft store. Balsa is very thin and soft, so the X-Carve can cut it quickly and easily. For the wings, I used 1/16" balsa. Make sure to use "tabs" in Easel, to hold the pieces in place while they're being cut out. The tabs were quickly cut away with a sharp blade. I slid the wing and tail pieces into the slots, and it was almost ready. I added two paper clips to the front for a little weight. Then I spent way too much time decorating the glider with markers. I decided to also try making a glider from dense styrofoam insulation from a big box store. I scaled the design up a bit, and resized the slots to match the new material thickness (1"). I tried, miserably, to shape the wings and body with a rasp to help it fly better. Finally, I screwed in a heavy screw to the nose to add some weight. Here's my complete balsa glider! Here's my complete styrofoam glider! Check out the video above to see how they flew!
