So, this is basically the same thing as one of my other gliders with was based on the Blanik L23, however this one has a few tweaks to design and performance. It basically has the same glide ratio, but attains the same glide at slightly higher speeds and has a higher max speed as the previous one. (Other differences include a longer nose and overall length, smaller horizontal stabilizer and moved forward more, the swept wings are not as swept forward, and a red beacon light added on top of vertical stabilizer) Questions, suggestions, or tips? Feel free to share :p
