Rockets and Gliders

We have a continuing challenge to carry a paper glider to 300 - 500 meters and release it from a rocket. We have worked out the release mechanism, but the stability of the system, at the high speeds of estes rockets make for some exciting launches. Students stand behind the fence of the baseball diamond, then feed the launch control wires through the fence. Take a look at what we've done. Contact us if you have any ideas.
