2020 Science Olympiad Elastic Launch Glider Gage

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

To speed checking planes when I'm a Science Olympiad Supervisor, I always make gages. I used to make them from balsa and foam board, but with the 3D revolution, that's crazy.
I now model them in 3D to share and print them on my 3D printer for my use.
I have to split the gage in two pieces to fit on my printer, and then bolt them together with 3.5mm bolts. I've provided the chopped up files as well as a whole one.
To use:
The narrow gap is the max wing chord, wing must fit without touching.
The wider gap is the minimum fuselage length for the bonus. Length of fuselage cannot fit in gap to get the bonus.
