Balsa Gliders

by Beth Gruber

Gliders capture all the romance and wonder of early aviation, giving us the closest experience possible to flying gracefully like a bird. From a sleek flyer to a propeller-powered aircraft, these models not only look great, but will also coast effortlessly when launched. Inside you’ll find materials for making three easy-to-assemble balsa gliders as well as Basic Principles of Flight, an illustrated book that traces the fascinating history of aviation and explains the fundamentals of how aircraft fly.
