Indeed--those could even be laser-cut to produce them (and the cardstock wings and tail surfaces) in quantity. A low-powered boost-glider (just using 1/4A or 1/2A mini motors) might be able to use glider designs like these.

For a while, these were sold in the U.S. with Balsa fuselages. They flew just fine.
Thank you for posting the Racer 538 patterns! It looked vaguely familiar...and sure enough, it's one of Dr. Yasuaki Ninomiya's WhiteWings (see: www.whitewings.com/ ) designs; I may even have the WhiteWings glider assortment that includes the Racer 538.
