Benefits of Computer Based Models
The benefits of a computer based model is that it automatically calculates the estimated stall time velocity and angle without you having to do the measurements. Also, the AERY software allows for your design to be automatically changed along with the measurements you adjust to it which is a major benefit of the software and allows less work to be needed.
Glider Construction
To make a glider into an actual model you have to make sure you accurately and carefully place the pieces of the glider together. If you don't take your time assembling your pieces your plane won't perform at its maximum performance.
