When I built the original glider I wanted an engine. So, not really a glider anymore, is it?

@TankBoyBrazil Before posting this, I did post the actual glider. No propulsion.
Well, as long as I could see by testing it, it has good glider-like maneuverability, and a good thrusted maneuverability as well, but the lack of landing gears make it resemble more an parasite aircraft than a glider, mainly because of the thrusted nature of it.
Well, it is a glider as long as there is not thrust being produced by the craft, and if it can proper glide without any artificial thrust at all.
