Hey guys, I was just playing around and decided why not make a gigantic glider. It's name comes from the largest flying animal to ever live, a pterasoar that boasted a wingspan of 35 feet, this glider on the other hand has a wingspan more than 10x that. Despite it's massive size, this plane is actually an extremely slow flier, it's cruise speed only being between 60-80mph. It's also surprisingly tough and you can be fairly rough when forcing it down to land. The airbrakes do alot to make it easier to land. Hope you guys have as much fun flying it as i did building it. Just like always improvements, suggestions and feedback in general is greatly appreciated!
