Thanks for sharing. Some great tips for successful gliding too. Will be trying the Big Mouth Tumblewings during a STEM teacher training workshop this Monday. Thanks again for sharing.
thank you sooo much! I have been practicing for about an hour and I am able to travel through my kitchen, around my dining table, and through the hall 2 times! It is so much fuuuuunnnn!!!
I have watched this video on your website, and today when i got bored I made it and now I'm a master after so little time. :) thanks and one more thing i tried to make one of the gliders out of the phone book paper like you said in one of the videos and I failed but now I want to make one out of foam but I dont know where to get it :( BUT THANKS SO MUCH ON THE TUMBLEWING ITS AMAZING AND YOUR FRICKING AWESOME :) THUMBS UP TIMES INFINITY :)
i dont need the template im just see the template and and its have the size of the tumble wing andi measure the size to the paper and it works!!!!!!!!........VERY AWSOME......... ALL THX TO YOU MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@WildparkWerkstatt Yes, and it was a great idea that you bent the ends vertically to give it more stable flight. I will add that innovation in future revisions. Slater
If you have access to a video camera it would be cool if you make a "video response" of flying it. As for the thin foam, I am just now building a CNC hotwire cutter to be able to make enough foam for my students and to send out to people.At sciencetoymaker there are instructions for making your own thin sheets, too. Slater
Yes, everybody flies a little too far behind and/or too low on the board. The glider should be so close and so high that it blows over the top sometimes. It is so far from what we are used to that it takes practice.Keep trying Slater
Your pattern lengths are slightly (1" or 25mm) different in the printed text above and the spoken commentary on the video. Did you change your mind about 8"L vs. 9"L? If so, in which direction?
@NerdystuffTV I know people in various political parties. They are happy to see them recycled. Just plain cardboard works, too, but the plastic signs are far more durable. Slater
Yes, most people fly too far behind it. You have to get close and keep it near the top of the board. It's easy to fly once you master it, but not easy to learn. Keep at it. Slater
Awesome ! I just regained my hope ! Just have to learn to sustain and launch this ! Can u just make a video showing that How to launch & sustain ? U earned a sub As well as a like ! :D
Also, at the scienctoymaker.org website you can see fixed-wing gliders made out of very thin foam, which is easier to learn with. Paper--even telephone book paper--is heavier than foam. But if you practice enough, keep the board close to the glider, keep the glider high on the board, etc. you will get it.
When paper is made, the fibers tend to line up in one direction, mostly parallel to each other. Therefore the paper tends to be more rigid one way; less rigid the other way. It is somewhat similar to "woodgrain". Wood boards are stronger in one direction. That is why plywood is so strong, because the layers alternate 90 degrees to each other. So the word "grain" can refer to a kind of food, but it can also refer to direction--quite confusing!

This is a fun science project, and I had never heard of this kind of tumblewing.
WE HAVE SEEN THE NEW VIDEO...AND DOWNLOADED THE PDF PATTERN......THANK YOU AGAIN YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!! FROM ARGENTINA...(EXCUSE ME FOR MY ENGLISH)

I am setting up to cut lots of the thin sheets with a CNC machine, which is like robotic cutting. I hope to have it available soon.

Just super! Totally informative and uplifting in all respects, thank you!! "how many pages of lawyers do we need anyway?", love it.Thank you

Awsome video. It is really a great contribution to walkalong gliding.
Was that a glider fight I just saw there at the end?
That's a great idea!
iv made one for a science project im still trying to get da hang of it but its very hard to master :) great vid
The second link in the text area is about the other gliders. You might have to click "show more" to see it.
cool i did not know you could make them out of phone book gliders
Yes, everybody flies a little too far behind and/or too low on the board. The glider should be so close and so high that it blows over the top sometimes. It is so far from what we are used to that it takes practice.Keep trying
Slater
what a neat thing! thanks

@normofthenorth Thank you, I corrected the text (earlier version) under the TH-cam viewer and the dimensions in the video are correct.
Slater
@NerdystuffTV I know people in various political parties. They are happy to see them recycled. Just plain cardboard works, too, but the plastic signs are far more durable.
Slater
@DestructorEFX Yes, it's a new skill.It takes lots of practice. Keep at it!
Slater

Slater
its very cool but i have trouble doing the walkalong thing it dosent stay in the air but descends
how to make that other glider that u show in the video...
That is so amazing! :D
Great voice
MAIS C'EST DE LA SORCELLERIE!
i am in his class and it was actually pretty easy
1st tilt a flat piece of cardboard or anything that is solid to a 45 degrees angle then fly it while moving
HIS VOICE ..I WATCHED THE VIDEO JUST TO THE END BECAUSE OF HIS VOICE
Why are the pattern and instructions for the Big Mouth Tumblewing no longer on your site?
The video is linked on the website. And the pattern is linked in the text area of the video.
how do u use it
good!!!!!
@DestructorEFX Both the slow spinning and dropping too fast lead me to think yours is open too much. Make another.
Slater
i like this video
Awesome ! I just regained my hope ! Just have to learn to sustain and launch this ! Can u just make a video showing that How to launch & sustain ? U earned a sub As well as a like !

But i try it and it doesnt go up but goes down Mom says i am Mad so i have to prove to her That i am not mad but i am doing Science.

What is a direction grain?
When paper is made, the fibers tend to line up in one direction, mostly parallel to each other. Therefore the paper tends to be more rigid one way; less rigid the other way.

This is cool shiet
,Is this something from the X-files?
i was in his class he once was one of those people who ask people if they can put election sighs in there yard
o jeah i do it :D
That mic is hot! It is too painful on my ears. A de-essing would be greatly appreciated!
