(I uploaded this earlier but the elevator control was inverted, and the ailerons were too big. oops) So this glider is basically the Sport Glider but a hecka of a lot smaller. It performs okayish as it glides at around 100 MPH, but what do you expect from such a small plane? Anyway, the dihedral of the wings made the performance a lot better but wasn't as aesthetically pleasing, so if you want to up the dihedral go for it. (It glides at around 90 MPH in that configuration) I also changed the rear section of the plane to a T-Tail configuration to help with performance Feel free to expand on this design, leave any design recommendations, tips, suggestions, etc etc
