DETAILS
Hi everyone! Chuck gliders are the perfect first step into this DIY scratch building hobby. The nnChunkStang can be built very quickly and is a joy for K-6 age kids to throw around. Whether you're young or just young at heart, you can't go wrong with this chuck glider.

As you can tell by now, the subject is a P-51 Mustang. The design took me about 30 minutes to put together and another 30 to build. A few community members helped me beta test the design and I'm really happy with how it came out. Join the conversation on the FT Forum Thread.

Enjoy!
