Glider Challenge 2 Entry

Auto Credit Based on GJW14's Glider Challenge 2!

Based mostly off of the Me 163 rocket interceptor due to its amazing gliding performance, but with a small, weak pusher prop instead of a rocket. It lands, although roughly and it is a little difficult to do so.

    I really love the way this plane flies! Very nice, although it does have pitching problems. This could be fixed with canards though.
