Changes:
The only change I made was to increase the velocity of the glider when I threw it
50 foot flight
i didn't achieve 50 feet of flight
conclusion question:
1. My gliders performance differed from what aery predicted it would do as it said that my stabilizer was to large to sustain a good flight. But my glider was still able to fly 46 feet with it having "too large of stabilizers"
2. What I concluded from watching the flights of other people's plane is that the planes with the largest stabilizers were able to fly the farthest. I think that the larger stabilizers kept the glider from losing stability and crashing. The wings couldn't be to large though as they could create to much lift, where the glider would fly straight up. But having to small of wings would make the glider have to much drag. Therefore having a balanced sized wing was imperative to having your glider fly a long distance.
