Auto Credit Based on GJW14's Glider Challenge

This amazing glider can fly crazy long distances for its size and wingspan. It will cruise ( with some carefulness) at 50mph. Try not to stall it as it will flat spin. Optimum cruising speed is about 60-70 mph. I advise you do a practice flight or two before trying to go the distance, as this plane takes some getting used to. Good luck to any who try it.

    Easily cleared the south island and doesn't stall until 43mph, having said that I cleared the fuel out before I flew it.

    @grantflys I know, its a tricky plane to master. it took me a while. i even made some other versions that can glide from the north island approach all the way around the island. but those planes fly pretty bad. my gliders tend to have nasty spin characteristics. :p

    Good job, but personally, I've been having trouble flying this...
