Foam Wing Glider Instructions:

Using the Linder wing pattern, make a template to use with the Foam Wing Cutter. Refer to your Foam

Wing Cutter User Guide for cutting a wing.

You will need to cut two wings approximately 9" long.

Sand or cut the ends of both wings (make sure you cut opposite ends) to form a dihedral angle for the

wings. With one wing flat, the other wing should be elevated approximately 2-1/4".

When you are satisfied with the angles, glue the two wing sections together.

Using the patterns provided, mark and cut the fuselage, tailpiece, horizontal stabilizer, and wing

support from the 1/8" balsa wood sheet.

Glue the tailpiece to the fuselage. Glue the wing supports to the fuselage and tailpiece as shown in the
