Tuesday

In my modifications I improved my plane by adding another wing-like a biplane. This helped by adding lift and stability. This was also bad because it added weight and drag. I also added a horizontal stabilizer in behind the vertical stabilizer (or in England the "tail"). This was good because it helped stop unwanted Pitch. I also colored it green :)

Observation-We observed that the standard plane was good, but we wanted to make it better.

Question-What will happen when we modify our plane?

Hypothesis-When I modified it, it wouldn't go as far.

Experiment-Launch it off of a ruler cat shot :)

Conclusion-Mine went a lot shorter. From 8.6 m. the first time to 4.6 m. the second time.
