This is the new design I am using for the challenge. It is a compact glider that uses a triplane to achieve maximum performance. Using this should be no different from any other aircraft. It's stall speed is 34 mph so landing isnt a problem. Manuverability is great and the small airframe weighs a mere 2,100 pounds. What's not to love?
