Dolphin-Tail Glider

Just a simple glider build, I was just bored and wanted to fly something a little more calm than a jet. This isn't really based off of anything, just a glider. It has a camera on top of the cockpit area, just to make it a little bit more realistic and cool! There is no interior though, this was just a quick build. Give it 100% throttle when taking off and climbing, when you are at a heigh that you think is good, let it glide, and when you get low and want to stay at that height, anywhere from 30% to 60% would be good. If you are too low and want to rise back up, 65% to 100% is a good speed. I hope you guys like this quick and mini build that I did!
