Anyone know where I could get a model airplane for teaching?
I'd say the toy store, but I guess kids today don't play with airplanes.
If you're gonna do it, do it right... http://www.airplanemodelworks.com/pitts-special-model-plane-p-451.html

Cheap, quick, easy, and unlike balsa ones, they really fly.

So cheap you can afford to give them away. Put a thread through the wing slit to demonstrate flight without having to throw it. Teach the 4 forces, then adjust the wings back and forth to show stall characteristics.
I don't see ailerons, flaps, rudders, or an elevator on those gliders. I don't really see how those teach anything.
Very cool, Steve, Thanks for the link.
That's what we have. It works just as well as making one at home.
