Glider Challenge (pics to be added soon)

1) The challenge of this project is that we need to make a plane or glider that can fly off of a 2 story building. 

2) Some ideas I had for the glider challenge was to build a double winged triangle plane. It would take after the Wright Brothers' design how it had the poles connecting both wings. One major flaw of my idea is that it had no back end because it was a triangle, not rectangle-ish like their design.


3) Some Criteria that we need to accomplish is that it needs to:
-not break on impact
-go the farthest
or
-have the longest flight time

Some Constraints is that we can only use the materials we have. We didnt get that much balsa wood, and we can only build once so we cant mess up. There are only certain things that can attach wood successfully. Traffic on the Coronado Bridge caused people not to make it to school. We only have 4 days to complete it, 2 days of which Mr. Olson isnt going to be there.
