we all know about drones and planes but there is a special thing about the glider. we don't need propellers, engines, etc, But wings.

gliders look simply good and are made with lite metal alloys but here we will try making it with brass so that it looks like steampunk.

Supplies

1. brass rod (1.5mm)

2. brass pipe(inner dia 1.5mm)

3. cloth

4. super glue

Template

I tried to fly the glider but due to the weight at the front part, it falls down so I cut the front section and bent it into a smaller head.
