Lightweight glider

Auto Credit Based on scemopazzo's Less Than 1000lb Plane Challenge

This is a lightweight RC glider. It weighs only 143kg (316lbs). It's also very aerodynamic (Only 18 drag points).

Glides preety well. I don't reccomend to fly at speeds lower than 185km/h (115mph). It doesn't have gear, so be careful landing the glider on a landing ski.

Have a good flight!
