This is a continuation of my experiments with Simpleplanes physics. This time, I am trying to create the optimal unpowered glider for the Eagle Pass race without the use of XML editing, mods, physics abuse, or the cannon. I have a gyroscope tied to action group 1 if you need to stabilize the aircraft, and this glider can complete the eagle pass race in about 6:20. let me know if you have any feedback, thanks!
NOTE: I have a newer, faster version of this glider. Please check my profile for that one.

@mellowbaton
Aaa thats nice
@DreamsPilot I made my own requirement that I wouldn't use any sort of mod to assist this build
Use fime tuner mode to resize to cockpit to make it smaller or bigger
