So I heard you guys like gliders, in particular gliders that don't conform to the norm. I present, the bi-glider. This beast averages 140mph down eagle pass and stays perfectly level at 55mph, which is about as slow as the airbrakes can get it. The bi-wings cause all sorts of havoc in a roll though, hence the abnormally large rudder. Honestly I coulda gone larger with the rudder but I think it looks better this size.
