The wooden glider body is about 30 cm long and only 4x10 millimetre in cross section. This makes it light, especially if you make it out of pine wood or any other soft wood.
The wooden body has two slits made with a scroll saw. The front slit is about 8 cm long and is cut at a small slope from the front down, draw a line first so that you can see where to saw! This gives the wings their LIFT when the air flows over them. The slit for the tail is 4 cm long and horizontal!
