Auto Credit Based on TheGliderGuy's The Glider Challenge
there's 3 key elements to a glider to me. Simplicity, Lightness and a wingspan the length of Thomas the tank engine's entire consist. This is the method I used to design the needle. I would not recommend Low Physics for this, from my experience from other aircraft with 1 piece wings this size.
edit: I did the math, turns out this really is wider than Thomas the tankin dankin's entire consist

@IceCraft well I was referring to the length of his consist (70-85ft with 2 4 wheel coaches) but frankly the Thomas prop is actually pretty thin compared to the others
So either Thomas is skinny or ur plane is thicker than it looks
