This glider is just amazing! I build it specifically for the Going the Distance challenge and I made it fly more than 5100fts! It has a minimum speed of 42mph. It has an unusual design, but it is really good doing its job.

    Yes dude! I love this whole idea! It makes for a really sharp flying style, much more so that I was expecting. Also, you know me by now, I'm always going to like something angular and cool like this one. I found the slight nose down a slight destraction, but I didn't mark you down given I know why it does it, I I can see the need; being down to the front flaps, but that's what makes thus such a joy to fly around, so it's all good in my book. I really want to make a glider shortly. Another superb colleague on here Stormraided has made a paper plane, which I really like the idea of, I'd bet you could make a mean one. Again keep up the good work sir. All the best to you as usual.
