What You Do

1. Decide what type of aircraft you will build. For example, you might build an airplane, a spinner, or a glider.
2. Draw a plan and list the materials you need.
3. Decide how you will test the aircraft. Will you test the steering, time in the air, distance travelled, or all three?
4. Build the aircraft and conduct flight tests.
5. Record your findings.

Record your tests on a piece of paper using the same format as the table below.
