let's change it up - how far can you get it to fly after a complete loop ...
specifically, throw the plane, it immediately loops, (doesn't crash) and then flies some distance. I've got to go 20 or so after a loop.

after a good hour i got my number 3 model plane, with 50 weight and 50 elevator to go 48. and for gator.... i got 18 at a loop
will try the loop thing later lol. regular flight i can get constant 40-45 only on model 3... model 2 i get around 40 and the same for model1 plane. for me, best results are without the rudder fin thingies...
fun little web app thanks for sharing it!

in Hschool we had a contest like this in the science fair. you got 2 peices of paper, a magic marker, 5 inches of scotch tape and 1 paper clip. the goal was to make a hang time plane and the other was a distance plane. the are was the school gym. i was second on the distance plane, only becuse i couldnt bring myself to tape the maker to the end of the paper and huck it as hard as i could... needless to say, the maker was left out the next year.... for the hang time plane, i got first place with something like close to a 2 min hang time... its a little stunt plane i use alot it does loops and stuff realy well and its a lot of fun. i folded the wings flat against the body. and threw it as hard as i could at the cieling. when it would hit, the jar would unfold the wings enough to get it to hand. so it would do this roll. and just glide down in a nice slow circle. i think that was one of the funnest contests i was ever in lol.
BTW i got a 20.1 on the loop just now LOL..
