    <description><![CDATA[This is the flat plate wing version of the CG-11 handheld catapult launched glider. The wing is made from a 1/16&quot; by 3&quot; by 12&quot; sheet of light balsa wood.

If all the parts of this glider are already cut out and the wing dihedral joints already scored, it can be built by a beginner in under 2 hours.

Performance of this glider can be greatly improved by sanding a slight airfoil shape on the upper surface of the wing blank using 100 to 150 grit sand block and a flat particle board shelf or a 1/4&quot; thick glass shelf to sand the wing blank on.

The glider is launched using a 9&quot; loop of 1/4&quot; wide rubber on a hand-held 6&quot; long dowel. Despite having a crude flat-plate airfoil, it is quite capable of catching a thermal and flying O.O.S. (Out Of Sight).]]></description>
