Well,

The gliders are all ready for launch. I'm going to plug the Golfworks High Density lead tape I used. Golfers use this tape to weight their clubs in different ways to promote or reduce slices and draws or to make the ball launch higher or lower. It comes in a 75 ft. roll which means I will misplace and not be able to find it long before I use the whole thing. A short piece was all that was needed to balance the Fly Baby, Firefly and my scratch built. Only 74.5 feet to go. It cuts with an E-Xacto knike and the adhesive backing is strong enough to stay on a golf club so it should be OK on a rocket.

Too windy to launch this weekend so no report yet.
