(READ CRAFT INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE FLIGHT) I have been kinda inactive lately because I am lazy and I don't know what to build. It was hard to make gliders because I needed a tow vehicle that wouldn't slip off the runway or run out of runway before liftoff. Also has an interior.
Description
The Percival PA-14 Swift is one of the first gliders and private aircraft of the New Wright Republic. It was designed and produced by the newly founded Percival aerospace company. There were various designs for both the glider and tow vehicle, such as a wing similar to the German Habicht glider and a small trailer but these didn't work out. A piston engined UAV was planned too but the torque effect made it almost impossible to take flight. A new UAV with an engine layout similar to early Soviet jets was created to lift the glider and it was successful.

@Ruskiwaffle1991 perfectly fine its just a tip!! it looks cool so yea.
@TheGliderGuy I made it kinda like that in its early design phase. Also idk how to make proper tow vehicles.
A bro nice glider. But just some tip ,the plane is kinde nose heavy and flys kinde weird,the tow plane is kinde back heavy ,if you make it more balans its wil fly and tow better . But its looks nice
