About this model

German Version Below.A simple hoop glider, inspired by the paper airplanes we all remember from childhood, with surprisingly good flight characteristics.If it doesn't glide properly, the small front stabilizer can be adjusted by carefully bending the connecting rod:Bend it upward: The glider will tend to climb more.Bend it downward: The glider will tend to fly lower.Make only small adjustments and test the glider after each change.For best results, throw it gently and smoothly rather than using too much force (but also not too little ;)).
