This is my foam tray glider. i made this out of foam meat trays from the grocery store (go to the meat department of the store and ask for a couple of trays, if you tell it is for a science project, they will give you a few. You need 2.), Hot glue (low temp, hi temp will melt the foam. I have a dual temp gun, so i can use hi and low when i need them.),cardboard, a bamboo skewer, a hammer and optional: a foam plate, a stick and a rubber band.
That looks like my Hammer Down Catapult Foam Gliders design on ScienceGuyOrg. I am glad to see that someone has built one. These gliders take tiny adjustments to get a good flight becasue there is so much speed in the launch.

Yes it is your foam catapult glider. Sorry I didn't give you credit for the design.
