Default Estes Gliders

Estes offered several foam gliders in 2013.
They dropped these in 2014.
I'm talking about the Falcon(4011) and Spy(4013) Gliders.
I have never seen either in a LHS.
How much did they cost?
How well do they fly?
Are they R/C or free flight.
Can they be made into launch-able rocket gliders?
Does anyone have these gliders?

I got an Avengers glider (4009) for my younger Boyo. Nice hand toss glider. I see RC conversions of all 3 have been done.

The Avengers glider has a place in the tail that I think is begging for a pair of 13mm motors.

4011 and 4013 were in both the 2012 and 2013 catalogs. They were both foam free flight gliders. The Falcon was about 20 inches long and had about a 20 inch wingspan. The Spy was about 26 inches long and had about a 26 inch wingspan. Both were available, but both are discontinued. They each had a retail price of $11.

Saw them at a BigLots here too (Los Angeles, California) -- 7 USD
(BTW, you do want to check contents of bag before you purchase -- noticed a few that were broken in the bag due to handling)
