This glider is indeed a giant but do not be fooled! With it's extremely long wingspan and crazy lift/weight ratio it can stay flying as long as you want. It uses adjustable pitch wings therefore rolling is not a problem at low speeds unlike other similar aircrafts without this feature. And it's long fuelsalage length makes it able to have a small tailplane. [HOW TO USE] For taking off with the tow plane attached use YAW after taking off if you wish to turn around. Rolling after takeoff will stall both aircrafts. When at the final steps of landing DO NOT flare to lose speed, instead use the airbrakes to slow down and keep the aircraft level. Your minimum landing speed is 30 mph. Any lower and the aircraft will pitch up and fall.

    @DerpyCookie17 Oh I thought it said the minimum wingspan is 65 feet... And the tow plane is perfectly capable of towing it aswell. The weight of the glider is only 11,000 pounds. And anyways all I have to do is just make another plane its not like its the end of the world or some shit.
