This non-competitive exposition will record flights in categories such as: Distance flown, Time aloft, Surprise, Spectacular crash, Launching technique, Weirdness, Elegance , and Helicopter.
All flights will be documented and results posted on out website. After the Fly-In, all gliders will be exhibited at the Percolator for the remaining run of "Out of Thin Air."
Guidelines for gliders 1. Send completed paper gliders so that they need little or no assembly. Please include any instructions for optimal flying. 2. Original designs are encouraged (be inspired by books and websites, but please do not use any pre-made templates) 3. Decorate your glider any way you wish, but keep in mind that decorations may change the way your glider flies.
