Was really painfull to create, trust me. It looks bad, but flies really well ! Instructions : for take off , pitch up gently from 150mph. Once at the wanted altitude, drop the speed to about 90mph, then release the glider (activation group1). Pitch immediately down, or you will loose control. Glides perfectly at 50 mph. Using the ground efect, touch down as low as 25(maybe les hehe). During flight, uthe use of vertical stabilizer is really mandatory ! Have fun ;)
