A glider and a tow plane to help it takeoff. Don't do fast maneuvers or you will find yourself in a stall, uncontrolable spinning, broken wing etc. You can still fly that plane and even land it if you are experienced enough.

That is a nice idea. Just a few criticisms :
- The towing plane could have been smaller in order to make the take off distance shorter and to enhance manoeuvrability.
- The control surfaces are poorly designed on the glider. You should invert the roll and the pitch surfaces for more efficiency.
- The glider itself is badly balanced. You should put more weight forwards so that you prevent the aircraft from going into a deadly and out of control spin.
Hope my comments are useful.
