My problem is which material is best for flight in distance. My hypothesis is that balsa wood will go farther in distance because balsa wood has a good strength to weight ratio. Also balsa wood is light and is not as flimsy as the other materials.(The other materials are foam and plastic).

This is a very nice project and confirms your original hypothesis. Do you plan on continuing this investigation? I would be interested in seeing what you plan to do in the future.
