hi everyone I'm Chesscube! this is my 1st entry in the gold glider challenge. be warned this plane has very high lift so you have to compensate with a little downward pitch. This is probably one of the best gliders I've ever created. It weighs 811 pounds. It has 77 drag points! Inspiration from this taken was taken from SpiritusRaptor. he had a really good design. I took inspiration from the wings and from the tail but not from the body. What's the secret to make extremely low drag? Two things. A maxed nosecone in its length. and a cockpit attached to the back in the front. I don't know how far this thing will go. I can't Start from the required location for some reason I think it may be a bug in the game. I'm playing on android. If you guys would be good enough to test it please tell me the comments below how far it goes. This My entry TaylorWatson12.

@nethereal thanks for telling me! I just went and tested it and it seems that you can make okay maneuvers and still remain in control. I'll see if I can make an improved model.
The short length of the fuselage combined with the small diagonal stabilizers lends an unpredictable nature to your glider under any type of moderate maneuver
@taylorwatson12 ok. Thanks!
Just signing off for today! Unless someone else can do it, I'll tell you tomorrow!
