Hey guys, back from my vacation and back to making some planes. So, this glider is the same as the last Blanik inspired ones, however I slapped an engine on the front and tweaked the design to have pretty good performance with and without power. It does glide pretty fast though due to the weight of the engine, and the glide ratio isn't as good as the models without the engine (obviously)??. Hope you enjoy! (Questions, comments, tips? Feel free to share :p)
