This is a replica of FliteTest’s glider for the 2016 Boston Flugtag. It not only looks amazing, but it won Peoples Choice Award and 1st Place. That is the first time that has ever been achieved. The team called themselves FliteRiot, but is more commonly known on Youtube, social medias, and SimplePlanes as FliteTest (my favorite channel by the way, keep up the work!)

@FliteTest Yay :)
@Jettison would've been too big, could've done it if smaller lol
Where's the control stick XD
@TTHHSSSS I'm surprised that no one has yet!
I was waiting for someon to make this!!
@RCACS283 Incredibly simple actually. I made the front section with normal fuselage sections from left to right. Then, for the back 2 layers, I rotated the front pieces so it would be front to back. This way, I can make a proper airfoil shape. You can look at it for a better description.
Looks great :D
@FliteTest Take a Look ;)
