This was a test to create a more traditional style glider. As explained in my forum post i was pondering over many different styles, i made this to show the more traditional low-wing teardrop glider style. it handles much better at low speeds and can fly stable at 43 mph, it works well at higher speeds too. however, in testing both this and its predicesor peformed equaly in terms of distance. (despite this traveling 3x as slow on average)
