Glider's Design Competition part 3

Today is the day for the Glider's competition. Before the competition starts, we did some modifications to it. We added more weight at the nose of the glider. Then we throw a few more times to make sure our glider is at its best. 

This is our Glider (Final)















And the individual parts of the glider


This is the main body of the glider. The extra weight is already attach to the nose of the glider.













There are 2 event for the competition. First is to compete which the precision landing of the glider, which is to see the distance of the landing spot of the glider and from the target. The nearer the glider is from the target, the more points the team will be awarded. And is based on the average distance from 3 throws. For this segment, our team win second place. We managed to get a good start during the first throw, but for the second and third throw, the results are good but not good as the first throw. 

The other event for the competition is to compete how far the glider can travel before landing/crashing. Again the result is based on the average of 3 throws. Our team again win second place. We again manage to get a good start, with the highest record among all the throws. We also do pretty well for the 2nd and 3rd throw, but just not good as the first throw.
