Are there any general tips for starting out with radio controlled rocket gliders? I'm a complete beginner when it comes to radio controlled system.
I want to try to make one in the G to baby H range, perhaps like a slightly smaller version of Iter's Vulcan.
Regarding electronics: What systems should I be looking at?
Where should the CG be relative to the center of lift? Is it beneficial for this to be different during boost and controlled flight? How about vertical alignment of the motor thrust?
Any other tips? Can I test one by throwing it like a discus launched glider?
