The final Glider....

We didn't have any idea that we won't get Balsa Wood in Trichy. I never knew that it was imported. So just went to the wood market in trichy to try for Balsa. They didn't know what it was. They told us to buy a wood called "Jathikkai". Then we also bought Aluminum.

Though it was not a bit similar to the model which we gave at the end, it gave us a great idea of what to do.
Here are a few pics of the glider we made with those materials.
