Auto Credit Based on GJW14's Glider Challenge

This is my airfoil glider, where it uses the humongous wing span to catch air to keep moving and stay airborne. use altitude to your advantage. start out by keeping it just below level and keep going. if you do it right you can glide to the other island! (not the beta one, but the south runway area) feel free to add a prop or jet to make this guy faster. Enjoy! - Nick PS: retract landing gear to make it more aerodynamic. only added to make it easier on landing.

    technically its not a airfoil. it simple uses the wings as a parachute

    @rohan but no one has made this plane. Roll does work but its limited to keep the glider straight. Trust me, I tested different rolls And this gives it what it needs

    Roll doesn't work, and anyone could make this plane.

    Flys approaches very nicely, but the ailerons are in-effective. Otherwise, great work!
