Charles Fauvel and Eric Nessler with the AV-36 prototype
Fauvel-AV-36 glider (With a modern cockpit upgraded)
I completed two long flights; I began my flights from the "Bandit Approach" and landed at Yeager Airport. It flew slow, averaging about 85 km/hour or 50mph and I felt like meditation. I was able to control it mainly through trim and roll. (Tip: Keep the altitude as high as possible, don't do unnecessary rolls and turns) The flight was gentle and powerless, and the landing was smooth.
Tip for the pilots: Keep the altitude as high as possible, don't do unnecessary rolls, and keep it straight toward the destination. it's slow but you will reach there. Sometimes, I have to put my iPad to rest and watch it fly itself. - I love to know your feedback.
HISTORY
This is almost a close replica of the Fauvel AV.36, a single-seat tailless glider designed by Charles Fauvel in France during the 1950s. Specially made for my friend @TheGliderGuy 's challenge.

@molakesi exactly -
Well,the words on the fuselage reminds me of a 007 movie
@DauntB thanks
This is such a cool glider, nice job@winswings!
@WinsWings its great fun. It seems it only works over 200 miles an hour. But after that you can build speed by rolling.
@astorey thanks for the feedback
If you hold roll on the aircraft the speed increases significantly. Can fly forever. (On mobile)
@jplkk 谢谢
