I have a project for physics class to make a slingshot airplane using only glue, balsa wood, and tissue paper. we have to make the slingshot as well as the airplane. How do i get started? what is the best design? How do i make a slingshot? (only materials= tissue and balsa wood and tissue paper) The objective is to get the plane to fly the farthest.

Structural clues for the best airplane for distance:
1. pull do not push the airplane to launch (too much stress)
2. allow wings to fold back on lauching to maximixe distance flown.
3. wings at or slighly behind the center of gravity.
4. a tail with rudder for straight, level flight.
The rest is the fun, trial and error.
