Phenex GL-701

This is a more streamlined glider from my previous glider. It features the ability to float if you have to make an emergency landing in water. There is electric retractable landing gear, with 2 in the front to prevent tipping once the plane had landed and come to a complete stop. It flies almost perfectly level with just a little bit of nose up trim. I tested it from 10,000 ft, and it flew for just over 15 minutes past the Sky Park City island and lost sight of Wright Isles.

Controls are all normal. Brake to use speed brake in the air or to stop on landing.
