I built the Feather glider for a launch this past weekend...

it turned some heads, but I couldn't get it to fly right. I built it exactly to plans, but the offset thrust vs. the elevons was an issue.

Flights 1 and 2 were both static tests on A8-3's, as the model bound up on the launch rod - with the engine thrusting at 20 degrees to the launch rod, I would have to imagine that this was common back in the 60's. I switched to a B6-2 for flight 3, and it cleared the rod, but did a loop towards the crowd...

Anyone have any experience with this design?
