simpler version of my earlier space glider. this one is a cool rear wing, front canard design. looks great in cockpit view. as before, change to orbit view, full throttle, don't touch the controls n ride the wild rocket (it will oscillate like crazy) until it levels out (approximately 40-50,000 feet) or runs out of fuel. alternatively balance the throttle to keep the speed between 250-300mph. detacher 1 to release the glider. glider is very difficult to fly, do not stall or u will end up in a flat spin. Don't go to fast or the glider becomes very unresponsive. this thing is at the limits, and so will occasionally break or go haywire. enjoy the challenge of just landing the thing. *please rate, comment and check out my other contraptions. thank you*
