Is there a model of the Dream Chaser available in model rocketry form? Like, a small lifting body glider that sits on top of its booster instead of on the side?

Crawl 56 posted links to some side mounted parasite gliders...look like fun...I think most of the lifting body/gliders on the top of a booster were scratchbuilt projects...think Burkefj/did a Dynasoar on a Titan...not sure if it was a glider though...

If Mercsim (Scott T) hasn't done the Dreamchaser...I'll wager no one has.
He did the X 40.

Here: It was not atop a booster...dropped off an RC plane with RC control of the X 40

Yes, the dynasoar was RC, I believe Scott did the X-40/X-37B as drop gliders, not rocket gliders, I think John Boren did an X-34 RC but not sure he had sucess in his flight...
