This aircraft is a sailplane or glider whose design was based on the balsa model aircraft kits. This is a large sailplane that has two small jets, landing gear and numerous air brakes. It has the great lift and can hold a rising banked turn. It is by far the easiest plane to land on runways and fields that I have tried to make. I found that the array of air brakes helps control the rate pf descent effectively. It will even land without its gear down using the fuselage as a ski. Gear up is also a quicker stop. Smooth terrain is necessary. For a faster takeoff, leave the gear down, lower the trim all the way. Put the engines on full, wait for it to rev up and then raise the gear. A slight roll after liftoff helps the climb. With a stick, this is seat-of the pants style of flying, like the bi-planes.
