Le "Sports" Glider

My first attempt at a glider, but I decided it needed a bit more power. Doesn't need a tow plane, since the disposable engines (press 1) can take it up in the air under its own power. It does have "Sports" in the name since the glider also has swing-wing capabilities. VTOL Down to pull the wings back, great for dives, and also while still using the engines. Credit to Umbreon for the body, and I've also made the fusalage buoyant,so now the thing can be landed anywhere (I think?). Stall speed seems to be around 40-50 mph, takeoff at an estimate 110 mph(which is easily achieved with the overkill engines.). Guidance lights are AG8, and that's it. Enjoy!-Alzein (P.S. Try to just slam the throttle to 100%, taking off slowly seems to make the plane pitch up at around 70 mph. I'll see if I can fix it if I'll make a follow up to it).
