a proper glider

history

In the early 2000s the taikav company decided to experiment with glider aircraft and the result was a high lift, maneuverable, and very fun glider aircraft. Mainly designed to be towed to a height of 15k ft, but this example does not come with a tow, version with a tow may come. With the company's first glider some things were wrong with it, the main one being its weight, which is pretty heavy for a glider. Later versions brought down weight by over 1,000lbs.

BUILDERS NOTE:this is the first glider that I have uploaded and I must say it's a very nice looking glider and I'm so happy with it! I have added a small jet engine so it can get up to height, but other than that its pretty straight forward for glider operation. Stall speed is kinda high at around 50mph so keep that in mind. I also have added an air brake to this, just for extra stopping power, and because it looks cool. I hope you enjoy your flight with this thing, I know I have fun making it!
