I’ve posted several times on making gliders from a soft drink can. But when friend Charissa said she couldn’t find instructions for making one I realised that I hadn’t posted any.

I have posted two items on how to get a sheet of aluminium from a can, here’s the other one, but it stopped there.

Charissa was in the middle of testing a boat, and wanted to move on to planes made of this material, so I set too and made a glider in front of a camera, and along the way described how to make it. It’s rough and ready and I might get around to tidying it up one day; there again, I might not, so I’ll post it as it is for the time being.

Instructions for making a model glider out of an aluminium can.
