This is another glider design that I took some inspiration and some design tips from a Blanik L23. (Includes slightly forward swept wings to allow the center of lift to be ~25% Mac, & T-Tail design) This aircraft will comfortably glide at around 68-73Mph if you hold the elevator key all the way back at that speed. Like the last glider that I published, it is still quite heavy for a glider (2,309lbs) and can therefore reach upwards of 150Mph if needed. Be careful on landing though, as braking too hard can make the nose smash into the ground, so be careful. (Any questions, tips, or suggestions? Feel free to share :p)
