My Astroglide glider with a prop attached, modified to be used on the "going the distance" challenge. you can pretty easily get over 30,000 feet. It likes to glide around 53-58mph. Gyroscope keeps it stable on one wheel for take off and can also be used to take off vertically. Pull back on the stick and give it full throttle. Great for the short take off challenge as well.

@napkin7 thanks! I like to keep things minimal.
This is a really cool design
