A high-aspect flying wing glider, capable of a 5 ft/s descent at around 70-80mph, and proper maneuvering ability at approx. 95+. The massive wing provides plenty of lift, necessary to keep itself aloft, and if this game simulated it hot air could also push it up quite generously thanks to the surprising wing area. At only 1700lbs, the craft is a venerable featherweight compared to even other gliders, and its tiny size ensures only the smallest of midget pilots can actually fly it. E Elevator control is inverted as otherwise it'd push down when you want to pull up, because.. logic. No seriously, how does that work?

@gyroscopeduckling The amount of pressure generated by pushing the control surface down is greater than the force that is generated by the deflected air, hence the game makes the control surface "inverted". It looks opposite of what we are used to seeing so it's wierd but without actually testing the individual designs in a wind tunnel it's hard to tell if it's accurate or not.

I presume the anomaly has something to do with where the main wing is located, since if it were based on the flap locations than the elevator would rotate as it normally would. A strange phenomenon regardless.
