This plane took a while to make. As you can see it's a glider with a detachable towplane. The tow aircraft can reach very high speeds. The glider is pretty efficient and lands beautifully. To fly: When towplane is attached, up and down are switched. Mot sure why, but to go up use the normal down control and vise-versa. After releaseing, control surfaces behave normally. To release the glider, action group 1. The towplane will eventually crash or splash after flying a bit.
