Since you guys are posting all these flying bricks and calling them gliders, don't forget Buzz Lightyear. Falling with style! Dude, he has a 100% payload capacity!

My wife painted this Holverson Designs Silver Hawk with watercolor markers. It had a glide weight of 0.4 oz. and after power pod release it stayed up for 85 seconds on it's maiden flight. Not bad for a brick.

I already posted my recently finished Tercel.
Also, I just bought two Manta 2 gliders (just the gliders) to try out. Others recently built... Semroc Hawk Centuri Mini Dactyl Squirrel Works Dogfight Estes Eagle Boost Glider Semroc Orbital Transport Estes Scissor Wing Transport (Original)

If you use the included rubber bands to flaunch the Manta gliders, only pull the glider back a short distance. It will climb much higher and glide for a longer time then if you pull the glider back all the way. This will cause the glider to loop. John Boren

The first rocket I flew (The first rocket I built was an Estes Astron Scout) was an Estes Falcon B/G. Used an 1/2A6-2 motor. Darn thing worked!
I still have it.I built an original Estes Orbital Transport back in 1972. It is now rather worn but I will still fly it every once in a while. It last flew at NARAM-52. Great flight. I finished an original Estes Scissor Wing Transport. Never flew it. I have built/flown several more gliders but these three I happen to have some pictures.
