Aircraft Grade Carbon Fiber

Educational

The position of the CG can be changed moving the ballast changing the glider’s flight characteristics.

Where we started:

Funded on

An idea was formed from a love of airplanes. Out of this idea came a concept, and eventually a design. Prototyping, and a few experiments later, Fiber Glider was born. A modern version of a balsa wood glider, Fiber Glider raised over $5,000 on Kickstarter. It’s not too late to get a plane for yourself. Order now on our store!

What they say

This is a great kit! I constructed a small jig to help keep everything straight, level, and square. Once the epoxy dries tomorrow I'll be taking the kids out for the maiden flight. They have done a beautiful job, I have not flown this yet and I'm already satisfied with the build challenge and looks of this kit.

This thing is sweet!

Jeff Backer

Great job! I'm impressed with the quality and it looks freaking awesome!
