There is a fundamental rule taught in every middle school science class: only change one variable at a time. I wasn’t in class that day! The Medicine Man is a great glider, but if you are like me – your curiosities sometimes get the better of you.
First off: I built mine at about 150% scale. This does not a negative thing outright, but it does mean that you are dealing with more mass. This brings us to:
Physics Law 1:
Force = Mass * Acceleration
In practice, the ground will bring your plane to a stop in a hurry, and the more plane you have, the more there is to break!
Don’t worry, this is only important in a crash, and I don’t plan on crashing! ….yeaaaaah
